I began babysitting 20 years ago, taking care of a toddler, though not 'easy', who stole my heart. When I was barely 18, I gave birth to my first child and within 2 years, gave birth to my youngest child. At that point I decided to be a stay at home mom because I enjoyed keeping a tidy house, teaching my kids before and after they started school, and enjoying the company of imaginative, happy little people. I have recently made the decision to return to the job market after much contemplation, and housekeeping and babysitting appeal to me more than anything because that's what I have the most experience in and it's what brings me a great amount of joy. I am very efficient and attentive to the task at hand. I also have a big heart and a lot of love to share. Kids deserve all the encouragement Read more in the world, and I'm honored when get to provide some of that. I am, however, no pushover. I am a single mother of two teenagers, and it wasn't that long ago that I was a teenager. Hard to get much if anything by me. I am very excited that this is now a legitimate job opportunity. :)
