Student Jobs

I am a busy professor and part time solo parent.  I am offering a position in nearby Shorewood Hills (just west of campus) at my architecturally unique home. I am imagining 6-12 total hours per week, with some flexibility on total amount of work and the timing of much of it.  I would appreciate help with multiple jobs:

1. Babysitting - I have a 7 year old son who is pretty easy to take care of.  He's usually with me Saturday afternoon - Tuesday morning.  I can usually care for him without help.  Some Monday afternoons I might appreciate babysitting starting with his 2pm school dismissal.  Now and then I might ask if you're available to help during an evening as well. 

2.  Pet-/housesitting - Now and then I travel, often just for a few days.  Maybe you could stop in for a little while on each day, care for my 2 friendly cats, and do other work around the house.  Or in some cases, you could stay at the house if you like. 

3. House cleaning - I'm looking for help with all cleaning tasks - kitchen and bathroom cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and mopping, etc.

4. Outdoor work - Seasonally, I'd like help with (A) firewood moving and splitting (with an electric log splitter); and (B) weeding and other work to support my native woodland restoration efforts. This would all be with plenty of specific training from me.
