Position Summary/Job Duties:

We are a family in Middleton looking for a dependable, responsible driver to help with recurring transportation for our two children (ages 8 and 11).

We are looking for someone interested in an ongoing, part-time position helping our children get to their regular activities during the week. Typically 6-8 hours/week, between 3:30–6:00pm, depending on the activity. The primary responsibilities will be:

  • Driving our 8-year-old daughter to and from her therapy and piano appointments.

  • Driving our 11-year-old son from our home in Middleton to volleyball practices in Sun Prairie, approximately 2–3 evenings per week.

  • Communicating reliably about scheduling, pickups, and any changes.

The schedule is relatively predictable for the Monday and Tuesday commitments, with possible additional volleyball transportation requests as the season schedule is finalized.

We are looking for someone who is safe, attentive, punctual, and comfortable driving children. You do not need to provide extensive childcare or household help; the primary focus is transportation and ensuring the kids get where they need to be safely and on time.

We hope to find someone interested in building a consistent relationship with our family and continuing in the role over time. There may be opportunities for additional hours as schedules and needs change.

Pay:

  • $23/hour (includes time spent waiting at activities)

  • $0.76/mile mileage reimbursement for work-related driving

Qualifications:

  • Valid driver's license and a safe driving record.

  • Reliable personal vehicle, appropriate insurance, and willingness to transport children.

  • Dependable, punctual, and comfortable navigating the Madison and surrounding areas.

  • Responsible and comfortable interacting with children ages 8 and 11.

  • Good communication skills and ability to coordinate schedules with parents.

  • Previous childcare, driving, or family assistant experience is helpful but not required.

Application Instructions:

If interested, please apply with a brief introduction, your general availability, and any relevant experience working with children or providing transportation.

Please also let us know whether you have a reliable vehicle and are comfortable driving regularly between Middleton and Sun Prairie.

We would love to arrange a brief conversation before getting started. References are appreciated.
