No offhand

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am writing to ask the meaning of the following words.

1. What does "school aged students" mean?

2. Do you know of anyone who baby-sits and can cook? Not offhand. What does "not offhand" here mean?

Thanks a lot.

1. They're young enough (or old enough) to go to school
2. It means he doesn't know one now, without searching first, or looking into his address book etc.
