Do you need a babysitter that will make sure your children are well cared for? I'm a former professional nanny turned mom of 4! I've been working with children for over 15 years! I've been married for 11 years. My children are 10, 5, 2, & 8 months. My oldest two are adopted so I have been fully background checked, home studied, & fingerprinted. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified, have a perfect driving record, & have a BA in Elementary Education (I'm eligible for my FL teaching credential). I'm searching for jobs that I can do in YOUR home WITHOUT my children present. I do NOT offer childcare services in my home. My availability is always up to date on here. Do you need someone that you can trust & shows up on time? Tired of younger sitters that are constantly on their phones? I'm youngish (34) but still a Read more lot of fun! I'm also a great cook & will always leave your home in better shape than when I arrived. My personal COVID policy: Our household does daily temperature checks. I will wear a mask at work, if requested. I wash my hands upon arrival and throughout the day while working. I am VERY low risk when it comes to COVID. My children are homeschooled and we have groceries delivered (& sprayed with Lysol). We don't go anywhere unless we have to and when we do, we take strict precautions including hand sanitizer, sanitizing anything touched, & properly wearing a mask). My youngest is a preemie so I have to protect her from ALL the germs, not just COVID. What I expect from the families that I work for: If anyone in your household is experiencing any kind of symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, cough, runny nose, fever, etc) I ask that you be honest with me before my arrival. I am unable to provide sick care at this time.
