Back in Illinois, I was known for being generous, good with children, and going above an beyond. I would like a chance to prove that to you. I was home schooled through the 12 grades, then I went to college to get Direct Support Professional trained. My start, back in Montana when I was 7ish years old, my mom baby sat as a stay at home mom, and I'd say my training started then. When we moved to Illinois, I volunteered at age 14 with children as well as adults who had physical or mental disabilities. I would later go on to also help baby sit at church, either friends children or the pastors daughter who had autism, or neighbors children. I then later started working in 2011 at a group home with individuals who had Developmental Disabilities and other handicaps. I have always loved working with people and children, Read more I accept challenges and desire to see those that I work with to grow and enjoy the life that they have been given. In June/July, 2014 I got married and moved to Arkansas to join my husband in his state. I have been told by parents that they think that I am good with children, and my supervisors told me I went above and beyond with our clients. I hope that you will give me a chance, meet me and see for yourself. We have a large one story house and completely fenced in yard should baby sitting at my place be preferred. We do have dogs, a lamb also, but I have never heard of anyone being allergic to sheep. I am willing to baby sit at your place, I have baby sat for a few different families and also have done house cleaning for years, so please feel free to contact my people for character references. My husband got a puppy to just avoid having her go to the pound and we wouldn't give the puppy away till we did what we could to get a pet reference by calling the vet they use. So you are more then welcome and even encourage by me to check to make sure you feel safe and that you can trust me. Our homes are private and our families are the most valuable possession that we own. As of August 21st, we have a four month old little girl. We would like to find a family who would be willing to allow the baby to come with. The duties to the family I will be serving will not be lessened in anyway, we just wanted you to know that we are expecting.
