I am the mother of two girls, aged 5 and 2.5. My oldest attends a school that is a 10-15 minute walk from our house. She will need to be picked up three times a month when my husband and I have conflicting schedules. Meals are already prepared, thus the only necessary tasks would be cleaning up after them. They both know how to ask for specific things and where to find them. Both are potty trained, although the younger one might need assistance when taking naps. They are both very loving and independent. Initially, they might be a bit shy, but once they get to know you, they easily warm up.
