Hi Stephany! Lisa Clark here – I will be available in mid April, Something like this would interest me if something comes up then. My current family I am working for is expecting their 2nd child in late March and are taking a 3 month maternity leave. Also, they need someone after maternity leave to work an extra day and about 45 hours a week or more.

Would love to find a family in the 30-37 hour/week range.
