Seeking a Mother

Mother

• Tomahawk WI
• Full Time Sunday through Saturday

Background & Role

The role of a mother is a 24 hour, 7 days per week position.  Your primary responsibility will be to serve the needs of two young boys that are 7 & 6 by providing a nurturing environment.  You will need to have patience, love and understanding.  You will need to be able to handle pain, conflict and sickness.  Most important you must be willing to put your own needs aside and focus your attention on the boys.  The successful candidate will need to be organized and maintain daily morning, evening and bedtime routines.  I should also include that there is a 4 month old puppy that is involved in the daily routines.

 

 Morning Routine

• Let Buster outside
• Put 3.5 cups of food in Buster's food dish
• Get the boys up at 5:45
• Help the boys get dressed
• Let Buster outside again
• Give Louis his morning medication
• If the boys are not eating breakfast at school, you will need to give them breakfast before leaving
• Put Buster inside his crate with a full bowl of water and a treat in his Kong toy
• Grab the backpacks, have the boys get in the car and bring them to the bus stop by 6:20

 Evening Routine

• Pick the boys up at the bus stop at 4:15, head for home
• Let Buster out of his crate and take him for a 20 min walk
• Have the boys put 3.5 cups of food in Buster's food dish and make sure he has a full bowl of water
• Make supper, load the dishwasher and wash the dishes
• Help the boys with their homework
• Get backpacks ready for the morning
• Have the boys set their clothes out for the next day

Bedtime Routine

• Both boys will need to take a shower
• Let Buster outside
• Have Louis put on his "night -night" undies
• Help the boys with their pajamas
• Give both boys their night time medication
• Help the boys brush and floss their teeth (make sure they use the mouthwash)
• Read a bedtime book and tuck the boys into bed

Please keep in mind, that depending on the day of the week, the routines may change due to Wednesday night church school, obedience class for Buster, parent teacher conferences or sports to name a few.  The role of being a mother will bring great happiness, pride and joy, but along with the happiness, pride and joy; you need to be ready to provide unconditional love, able to handle frustration, and have an unlimited amount energy and patience.  Being a mother can be complicated because every child is unique.  Since your behavior will be reflected onto the children you must maintain self-awareness and have a good self-esteem,   As they say, "Children do not come with instructions!"
