About this babysitting job

I’m looking for help getting my girls ready to go to school for the day. I’ll be helping unless I need to help a client. In that case, I’ll rely on you to keep our morning routine on track as much as possible until I can return to it. There’s a checklist on the fridge that helps explain our routine. In any case, I'll take the girls to school when it’s time! --- There is free, easy street parking in front of our house, and you would be more than welcome to any of our food, etc. while you’re here. --- If you’d like to help, I’d love to hear from you! ----- About us: We live in Palo Alto, and my daughters’ mother lives close by. I'm responsible for my daughters 3 days per week. --- Regarding kindness: I aim for the adults in my house to be kind to children, even and especially when a child is suffering from negative, destructive, sad, difficult, angry, etc. emotions, gently helping the child to understand their own emotions and others’ emotions without criticism or judgment of the emotions, without trying to distract the child from the emotions, etc. On a related note, I don't try to force or pressure children to share, say nice things, say they're sorry, etc. I have faith that my girls will develop kindness and other character strengths by observation of the role models in their lives over the long run. Regarding food: I generally don’t have treats in my house, so the girls are free to eat (or not eat) whatever they want without me needing to worry much about it.
