These are kids. They will make you laugh, cry, and want to sigh all within a five minute window! No two hours are the same. You never know what to expect and have to always be on your toes. Must be flexible in all ways... able to change plans, make adjustments, work extra hours to help out. Willing to get paint in your hair and dye on your hands. We are not looking for someone to stand on the sidelines and watch but someone that will get into the mix and enjoy these kids.
