Hi! I am a mother of two young adults and a former school principal (and teacher). I have just moved to the area and I'm looking for some kiddos to spend time with. I find that being around kids and families makes me feel happy and invigorated and I want to share my energy and experience with you and your kids. I especially enjoy babies and toddlers (I think I'm getting those grandmotherly yearnings!) but I am psyched to work with school age kids as well. You can take a look at my linkedin to see my experience: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetharrison1

Janet recently watched my 2 girls. She was really able to interact with them. I find not all sitters are able to do this. She told them stories about herself and her dog (my kids favorite subject). I'd definitely recommend Janet.
