[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - my sister did this in college. She and her BF lived at a family's house (upstairs apartment) and then did household chores and took care of the 1 kid after school. It worked for them in that specific situation for a couple of years. I don't know if they were even paid, or just did the work in exchange for living there. I would think you might find someone more like a college student rather than an adult professional, or someone who also has another source of income.  [/quote]

I would have done this as a college student, but I agree that you need to offer more hours. For this job, I'd ask for an extra 1.5 hours each day for dinner prep and cleanup. So from 1:30 to 3:00 I'd prep dinner and clean up breakfast dishes, any dishes from making school lunches, and the pots/pans I used to make dinner. Then, by 3:00 I'd pick up kids, deliver to activities, and supervise homework + instrumental music or whatever.

Then off at 6 pm, and the parents would need to clean up the dishes from actually eating dinner. That would leave me with the evening free to study, or earn extra money in other ways. [/quote]

But there's no guarantee that this student would be able to get all of their classes to end by 1 pm (approx-would depend on how far it is from the college to OP's house) on just Mon-Thurs.
I know I wouldn't have been able to do that in college (30 years ago.)   I have two kids in college right now and they wouldn't be able to do that.  Some classes, especially the higher level ones, are only offered during one time slot per semester.[/quote]
