I work remotely from home, so I’m able to provide a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home the majority of the time aside from short gym sessions or occasional grocery runs. I’m available for daycare, and overnight care during both weekdays and weekends.
