Hello, my name is April. I am a mother of four school aged children. I grew up in a large family with lots of extended relatives, and lots of babies! My love of children has always been a part of my heart and soul. My Grandmother always used to say, “There’s nothing like a baby!” I can remember being 8 years old wanting to make bottles for my baby cousin. Playing with the babies, holding them, changing them, and caring for them, was second nature. It came naturally, because I loved them. Babies are a little piece of Heaven here on Earth. My children are my heart and soul. They are now getting older and I have more time to myself. However, even though I have a college degree, I am not ready to rejoin the the corporate workforce. I presently, would like to spend my free time doing something Read more that is truly enjoyable. I adore babies, and I have a true gift for nurturing and caring for them. I am a the type of caregiver that I would want to watch my own children. I am loving, gentle, friendly, warm, and responsible. I can get any child to calm down, and am a true “baby whisperer.” Children love me, and naturally want to be with me. If you need a break, or a helping hand, and want to feel completely at ease while away from your child, then I am the person for you! In my spare time I like to read, workout, bake, knit, spend time outdoors with my dog and family, and all things creative. I am also a dog lover. Our Goldendoodle, Kelsey is a huge part of our lives. Thank you for taking the time to read this excerpt from my life. Look forward to speaking with you soon. Best, April
