I am a retired paralegal, who has raised two daughters (now 31 and 34). I babysat as a teenager and I have always enjoyed children. While raising my own daughters, I volunteered with children through my church. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education, and taught for four years before becoming a paralegal. Since October 2023, I have babysat on an occasional basis for five different families and substituted at my church preschool. The family that I worked with three times a week just moved out of state, so my schedule is pretty open currently. I'm happy to do light housekeeping as needed. References available upon request.
