<div dir="ltr"> Happy New Year!<div><br></div><div>I am a Riverdale-based, self-employed artist looking to dial in some regular playtime and activities for my 17-month old, as well some scheduled work time for myself. I am excited to connect with some other stay-at-home and self-employed parents in the general vicinity (Northern PG, eastern Montgomery counties). <br><br><b><u>Childcare</u></b></div><div>I am open to either a time swap with another parent, group of parents, or sharing a childcare provider. While my days are flexible, my ideal time would be in the morning. I'm on the crunchy side, prefer my kid to be actively playing and exploring, outside, eating healthy, etc., but also try not to be a total fascist. We do a lot of exploring of our local neighborhood and parks and consider it a good day if we got somewhat dirty. Gram is 17 months old and is now very excited to meet other kids around his age and older. It would be great to network with other self-employed creative types that are trying to maintain some artistic discipline in the face of demanding toddlerhood. </div><div><br></div><div><u><b>Play Buddies</b></u></div><div>Regarding play, we'd love to meet some kid and parent friends for fun at local playgrounds and parks, hiking, bike rides, kid friendly events around town, our house or yours. We love outdoor stuff and having fun in nature, doing some hiking with a carrier or biking with the trailer, then stopping to investigate puddles and mud. A little adult conversation and wit would be welcome as well. I'm from the area, but lived out west for years, and seeking some more laid back and outdoorsy community. <br><br>Hablo español como segunda lengua y me gusta practicar. </div><div><br></div><div>Please feel free to forward.
