This is Robyn Larson. Mike and I have some friends who are looking for someone to tutor two of their young children in the evenings from about 5-8pm Monday through Thursday. They have a boy, Stephen (4 ½), and a girl, Jamie (2 ½).
Let me give you a little back story to help you understand the family situation.
Mike Larson's former PhD mentor has recently started working in Chicago. His name is Ming. Ming works in Chicago Monday through Friday and comes back on weekends to spend time with his family. Ming's wife, Laura, is a medical student here at MCW and she is doing her 3rd year rotations. She has had 2 children since starting medical school. Laura's parents live with them, but their are older and by the end of the day, it's difficult for them to keep up with the young children. Since Laura and Ming are gone much of the time, the grandparents are the caretakers. But by the end of the day, the children often end up watching tv.
So this family is looking for someone to come "tutor" their children. Really what they're looking for is someone who enjoys spending time with kids to come share creative play with their children. For example: read stories, play games, imagination play, or creating activities (coloring, playdough, etc). They don't want their children to be watching TV for hours at a time every day.
They are willing to pay, but I do not have any details on how much yet. They seem very flexible so if you are at all interested, let me know and I can get you their information.
If you are interested in this position, or know of anyone who is looking for this kind of a job, please let me know. I will contact the family and try to find out more details. Email me at smilinglarson at gmail dot com
Thank you so much!
