			There are two parts to what we need, i.e. childsitting and phone-calling. Ideally, we're looking for someone who can both step in for childsitting much of the time as well as making arrangements to fill times when you can't do the sitting.

			We would also very much like to be working with someone who is going to be in the area and available for this sort of thing for more than a few months, so we can get to know you and so we don't have to keep placing new ads all the time – but we also realize that many of the people who are available for this sort of work are likely to be at transitory places in their lives, so we're certainly not going to exclude anyone just because they're only available for a little while.

			'''The phone-calling part''' requires good communicative ability and regular checking of email ([[IM]] or [[IRC]] is a plus).

			'''The childsitting part''' does not ''require'' any Special Needs experience (we certainly didn't have any at first!), but you will need to be comfortable dealing with a non-verbal, ''usually''-docile, ''almost''-100%-toilet-trained [[Josh\|adult-sized boy]].

 You could either do the sitting/transportation yourself, or find someone else to do it; the main thing is that I don't want to be the one in charge of keeping track of who has been contacted, and which pieces of a particular set of arrangements have been taken care of.
-==Some Actual Needs==
+==Some Actual Needs (Projects)==
 Here are some actual sets of childcare-related arrangements &ndash; let's call these things "projects", for short &ndash; which we currently need, both as examples of the ''kind'' of arrangements I'm talking about and also for anyone who is interested in providing care for these projects specifically.
-===Project #1: California in June===
+* '''[[Childcare for California in June, 2007|Project #1: California in June]]''': This is the most immediate project we have coming up. I want to take Sandy and my daughter [[Anna Nikola]], who lives in Georgia, to visit the Bay Area for about a week; the kids mainly need ferrying to and from their various schools.
-The next project we have coming up is a trip to California. I want to take Sandy and my daughter [[Anna Nikola]], who lives in Georgia, to visit the Bay Area for about a week. We've determined that Anna is available the last couple of weeks of June, so the schedule currently looks like this:
+* '''Project #2: Getting Josh back in The System''':
-* '''June 16/17''' (Sa/Su) - S & I pick up Anna from GA
+'''2007-05-13 Update''': Apparently there are independent local agencies which provide "targeted case management"; so far I have only been able to track down phone numbers for them. Calling around to such places might be one way of getting the ball rolling; I'm not at all clear on how they get paid, but if they are government-funded, then this might be a more cost-effective solution than having our paid Childcare Coordinator do all the legwork... or it might take just as much paid time to track these people down and get them on the ball... or they may have their own fees for doing the same work. In any case, we obviously need more information, and they have things set up so you can pretty much only get it by phone.
 ==Payment==
 We can pay by PayPal, check, or cash, in that order of preference (PayPal is instantaneous and doesn't require meeting or mailing anything). Please feel free to suggest an hourly rate you feel would be reasonable for this work. We will need documentation of all time spent (just a note about what you were doing for each bit of time); payment can be weekly, or right after the completion of significant portions of a project if you prefer.

	There is also a complication in that Josh ''may'' be admitted for a week at Camp Royall from June 18-22, in which case he would be out of the picture Wednesday and Thursday but would need picking up in Moncure, NC (about 45 minutes from here) on Friday afternoon – which clashes somewhat with Zander's CFS pickup time. We may be able to get the kids' grandmother to do the pickup, or you may need to find someone to be available in case this happens. If we don't hear anything from Camp Royall, we will probably just set a deadline for assuming he's not going that week... or maybe calling them to check up on this can be something the Childcare Coordinator could do.
