We are a homeschool family of 5 ages 2 months, 19months, 4, 9, and 10 years. We live on a 20 acre homestead so there are lots of things to do and places to play. The kids are great at playing, even the 19 month old. She will take some adjusting to new people but she will get there. Mom just needs 10-15 hours/week to work on her business and have focused time alone. It will be likely that the older 3 will be with dad while mom works but there could be times where all 5 are at the house. The older 2 boys take care of themselves and are a delight to be around. I only ask that any messes that are made while you're there also gets cleaned up including the kitchen. However, I also know it's not easy if the baby gets fussy and there's only one sitter here. That's where having the older boys around is very helpful! Please message me if you feel we are a great fit.
