I’m a mom with most weeknights free as my significant other works second shift… my son is 18, working, and about to go off to college… and doesn't need much of my time, lol. I know its yhe goal, but now I have this time, talent and energy for other kids. I come from a large family that lives close by so I ALWAYS had a relative wanting to spend time with my son if I wanted a date night, girls night, or night to myself. So I thought I’d see if there’s a need for local families that don't have family close by but DO want a night out. I enjoy kids of all ages and specifically enjoy the 3+ crowd when they can really start sharing their thoughts and POV. I enjoy planning little adventures for a sitting job based on the specific kid(s); maybe a scavenger hunt Read more walk, an art project, writing & reading, creating in the kitchen, or a movie night with popcorn. I know I’m not the typical teen sitter or nanny. But I am the kind of sitter I would’ve wanted for my son.
