Hello! I am a former JCPS teacher. I taught for 10 years. I have experience kids of all ages. I know how to manage an entire classroom of kids. If I were a parent, which I am not, It would be extremely difficult to choose the right person who be kind & nurturing to my extremely precious cargo!! I have 2 rescue dogs. When I had to find a sitter, I wrote a two page single spaced letter to her about my dogs! I can imagine it is scary to find someone to care for your child, who would UNDERSTAND them & take great care of them. I TOTALLY understand how important it is to find the right person! I’m easygoing, & have a calmness & peacefulness in my spirit. When I was growing up, I earned my own money. At 12, I started babysitting regularly for a working family Read more that needed child care. I watched them for three years. When the job ended, I was sad. I had become part of their family. As a sitter, I would help homework & tidying up. I will play games, i read books & most importantly interact with them. I’ve been around children my whole life. I would be mindful of your instructions, routines, & boundaries. I’m honorable & reliable, dependable. When you meet me, put everyone at ease very quickly. I’m down to earth, & you will find me easily relatable. I am positive & go with the flow. I can switch gears quickly. I’ve had LOTS of life experiences with being in charge of kids! If I had kids, I would want them to be cared for by someone like me. I like to go on nature walks, and am a parent pleaser! It’s super important that you feel good & have a peace with your decision! I look forward to meeting your family. Thank you for reading this. Bethany Avery. 502-819-3743
