I enjoy children! I'm a mother of two grown daughters who live nearby. I have four grandchildren under the age of 12........three of which are boys! I'm creative and like to work on craft projects with them. I enjoy baking, so I include them in making fun recipes. I can play the piano. During college summers, I was a city park director supervising all aspects of recreation for children. After graduating from college with a teaching credential, I taught first grade. I have experience as a substitute teacher in several elementary school districts. I have experience as a front desk clerk in a public school, a home school academy and a recreational center. I have volunteered in my grandsons' classrooms. I treat other families' children with the same care, concern, interest and kindness that I shower on my own grandchildren. I understand the importance parents place on hiring just the Read more perfect person to watch over their most prized possessions........their children. Aside from having a babysitter to watch the children while the parents work, I have an understanding of the importance of single and married parents enjoying quality time together or with friends, without the children, to focus on their relationships with others and each other as they seek balance in their lives. They need to feel a piece of mind when they leave their children in the charge of someone else. I'm that person.......I can make it a pleasant situation for everyone!!!
