My name is Jo but my friends call me Josie. I am married. I have 3 kids of my own, 2 are grown and gone. My youngest daughter is almost 17 and is in high school. I also own a woodcraft business. I do my woodwork at home in my spare time. We occasionally set up a booth at festivals to sell what we make. I have provided private child care for over 30 years. I teach while we play so most of "my kids" were more than ready to start school. Fussy even screaming children don't bother me, I have great patience. I get along well with kids of all ages. I am still in contact with some of the kids I have helped raise but some of the families have moved around and I have lost track of them. I was a Girl Scout leader for 13 years Read more so I can always think up activities to keep everyone busy. I have been trained in first aid but am not currently certified. I started babysitting in high school for the teachers children. My first husband did not want me working outside the house so I babysat for spending money. I love working with children. I am part of our high school band boosters and the band kids call me "band mom".
