My name is Mary Ellen and I've been babysitting for the past seven years. Experienced with lot's of newborns growing through the toddler years. Both bottle fed and breast feeding moms. I can help with swaddling and starting schedules for babies when it's time for that. I'm tender hearted and love to snuggle and sing as I rock babies to sleep. I personally took care of my own grandchildren who are now 4 and 8. I so enjoy the adventure of watching each child develop into their own curious self. I love to read, sing and dance with them and also play on the floor engaging them in new motor skills and figuring out small puzzles. I have stayed with one family for over three years and still watch their child for overnights and date nights. I bond well with the families I've worked for and they have become part Read more of my own family. I'm reliable and never late. I'm flexible with changes in the schedule as life doesn't always go the way we think..... sometimes there is traffic, etc. Conversation and talking are key as this helps prepare each child's mind for discovering new adventures in life and beginning language skills. Taking walks and being outdoors is important once they are old enough to enjoy the wind in their face and feel the texture of grass and leaves. I love children and find this kind of job the best fit for me. I consider it a joy and pleasure to interact with children and share the new things we can discover each day together. I love dogs but am allergic to cats - sorry. One of my favorite things to do is laundry. I will tidy up and leave your home in order. Can run errands and help out with meals, baking or starting dinner for the family. If you think I could be of help with your needs please contact me I'd love to talk about the possibilities. Thank you.
