About The Position

This is a part-time role (20-25 hours/week) for a busy and close-knit family of five in Baton Rouge, LA, balancing demanding careers and raising three boys (ages 10, 8, and 2.5). Both parents have demanding jobs, with one partner working week-on-week-off shifts and the other traveling approximately 10 times per year.
