I’m a single mom with two boys and they are being home schooled temporarily. Is there an option to bring kids with you?
If you look you will find that there are a number of sitters who travel with their families. As a pet owner, we have enough room to have kids as well so we make that clear in our listing, though because we are directly on to a river and have no barrier we say over 5s, although some of our grandchildren are well under this! All you need is to find people who are happy to have sitters with children and I know there are a number of these. Good luck
Welcome @Rrcrosby - the question has been asked many times and there are families sitting successfully through THS.
There is a ‘family friendly’ filter for you to use when searching for sits.
Use the spyglass at the top right of the screen and I am sure you will find the information you require.
I’ve done over 20 sits with .my 2 sons. They were aged 10 and 8 when we started. Now they are bigger than me!
@Rrcrosby in your sitter profile, just be sure you mention that you travel with two children, list their ages, and any other pertinent information about them. Homeowners need to know this as they consider your application.
Our home listing clearly states that we do not accommodate children yet we always get applications from families who don’t read the listing. So please take a moment and read listings carefully prior to applying.
On the plus side, many homes on THS do accept families with children, so be up front about it and good luck to you! You’ll be fine.
Agreed…
I would also expect that there is some evidence in your profile that your children have interacted and know how to be respectful around animals.
We also do not allow sits with children but there are many many others that do.
