About this babysitting job

I have a board meeting from 9am to 1pm and need help taking care of my 8 and almost 5 year old daughters. If you’d like to help, I’d love to hear from you! ----- A note about 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 generally free to eat (or not eat) what they want.
