Temporary Child Sitter Needed
I'm looking for an Auggie to watch my 9-year-old daughter Monday, August 27, through Wednesday, August 29. $10/hr. up to 7 hours per day. A car is not necessary, but if you have one I'll pay for your gas, too.
It would be easiest if one person could do all three days but it is not required.
