I've worked with kids for more than half of my life.  On top of being a big sister to two younger siblings, I've also worked as a preschool teacher, a camp counselor for several years, an acting teacher, and a lot of baby-sitting jobs, most of them from this site. :) I'm currently an animal sanctuary caretaker who works with chimpanzees... which makes working with human children a piece of cake. ;) I am completely free on my days off, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and I work 7am-4pm Thursday through Monday.

We had a middle of the week work function and Lucy was able to help us out. We are lucky to find her. Our 1 year old girl and our two year old boy warmed up to her right when she arrived and where sad to see her go. That one time function has turned into more requests to have her come watch out little ones. Highly recommended.
