As a pre-teen (80's) on the military base, Ft Lee, I was the go to sitter. I babysat anywhere from 2 to 9 year olds. I was a nanny for a summer in 1990 for a 2 year old. In 1993 I left my full time retail management position to stay at home with my newborn with colic & kept another colic newborn because I felt I understood what the baby was going through & had the patience to handle it. After a year & half I returned to work for three years until I had my second child. I then started to keep children in my home again. A 2 & 7 year old. I also occasionally kept a 3 year old. I potty trained 2 babies at once. I'm very consistant & patient. A few years later I returned to work. Until 13 years ago when I had Read more my last child. I wanted to stay home again & found a wonderful family to nanny for & bring my daughter along. I kept a newborn, two 2 year olds & a 7 year old. Once they moved I started childcare in my home. I kept a 9 year old, a 4 year old & 2 year old. They moved & I kept 3 little girls from one family. Ages 1, 3 and 5. Eventually I returned to work for about six years just to stop & want to stay with my daughter again. I then was a nanny for four children ages newborn, 2, 4 and 6. They moved after a year & half to a different school district different than my daughters. I adore children. I'm a big kid myself & can relate to how they feel. I am an empath. I listen, I feel, I care. I've treated them all like my own & am heartbroken when life changes happen & can't keep then anymore. I am still in most of their lives as they always have a place in my heart. I have excellent references & am currently looking for part-time, overnight and/or date night openings. Call me! I'd love to meet! I’m in Midlothian.
