I've been around awhile.Im a young 56 years. I'm a grandma of 6 and mother of 3. I started babysitting when I was a teen. My mother owned a child care business and I worked for her. I Worked for her 10+ years.We had children of all ages. Then went on to college. (AAS) became a RegisteredRespiratoryTherapist. I know breathing and other medical diseases. Although I'm retired now, I have so much more to give. I'm currently have my cpr,first aid certification,background check,and driving record.I have experience with children with and without disabilities of all ages. I know how to change dressings,give medications,and special food preparation and more. Now, I'm am seeking a job to keep me full of joy by assisting little ones and families. I enjoy it when a child laughs,plays,and learns. It's such a blessing watching them explore life at all the stages of growth and development. Read more I will bring gentle guidance with a fun, happy,loving atmosphere. . I am all about following the families wishes (house rules). I know how important routines are and I will follow yours to the best of my ability. I will keep them safe and care for them in all the ways a you do. Working with children has been the pride and joy of my life.I want to give back to families that can use a kind sitter.

I like learning new things and teaching/showing simple crafts and other projects. If there's homework I will gladly help. (I used to volunteer teaching in a private school). I will thrive to keep your child engaged in fun activities which he/she (games,reading,etc...) enjoys. I have reliable transportation, a 22 Chevrolet Equinox available when he/she needs to be picked up or dropped off. Please ask me about availability. Im totally open in January.
