If 6 months, we would split with another person who also works the other six months each year. I am a single father with three children (8, 10, and 10 years old).

My kids study in a bilingual Mandarin and English school (50% in Mandarin and 50% in English) and also speak Portuguese and Spanish fluently. I am flexible as to which country you are from, but if you were from China/Taiwan or a Spanish or Portuguese speaking country, it is likely that your primary language of communication with my kids would be your native language (Mandarin, Spanish, or Portuguese).

While I believe the ideal candidate is in their 30's to 60's who has already raised children or someone who has years of experience working as nanny and tutor/teacher as an integral part of another family with kids who have grown up with you, I am open to the possibility of someone who has experience raising and teaching kids who is younger who might want to come to the United States for 5-7 years and complete your college education while also working full time. The ideal candidate will be someone who is patient, good with children, and who has worked as a teacher in your home country. Here is our general routine with my kids. Kids usually return home around 3:20pm (They finish school at 3:15pm and we live across the street from the school). They usually have a mid afternoon small meal/large snack and have about 40 minutes of free time until 4:00pm. They usually have one hour online with their Mandarin teacher from 4:00pm to 5:00pm to support them with their Mandarin homework and school work. And another hour either online or working on their homework from 5:00pm to 6:00pm. Generally, the kids have another hour of snacks, free time and play from 6:00pm to 7:00pm and then usually spend 7:00pm to 8:00pm to finish their homework. We usually have family dinner all sitting together at dinner table (with no devices). After dinner, the kids usually have another hour and a half to spend time on personal hobbies and projects if they have finished all their homework. Generally, they spend 10:00pm to 10:10pm getting ready for bed, packing their snacks for the next day, and organizing their backpack by the door for the next day. They then have the option to either go to sleep or to leisure read quietly in their own space. Most of the time, they choose to read a book quietly and then turn off the light on their own when they get tired or at 11:00pm latest. The kids usually wake up at 7:40am. My 10 year old daughter generally prefers to to spend extra time getting ready for school and leaves to school at 8:10am. My son and younger daughter usually prefer to get ready quickly in 5-10 minutes and then go to school early to play and eat breakfast at school
