My experience is from my own children, we have two boys, a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I have had the benefit of being able to stay at home with both of them while they were in the early years. I have watched our friends kids too. I like to be outside with them most, playing with toys next and try to limit screen time to a minimum. Playgrounds and open spaces are my favorite. I have many years of experience professionally cooking, so I am excellent in preparing delicious and nutritious foods for youngsters. I am willing to help with getting dinner ready for you too. I currently don't have CPR certification but have had it before, and will get it again. Also I have had EMT training and went to college for nursing. I am hoping to find a family that I can work for Read more that will allow me to have my 1 year old with me too. Logan is breastfed because he still hasn't discovered that he can eat food to be full; he's still experimenting with flavors and textures. I think that having him around other kids would be good for him for a couple reasons: socially and exposure to seeing other kids eating. We have reliable transportation and are very pet friendly-we have 2 cats and dream of one day having a dog. My preferred availability is morning and afternoon, maybe into the early evening. I pride myself on being as healthy as possible, being prompt, honest, and flexible. I'd like to work as a babysitter because I enjoy having my kids, and I know I can help others with their kids. Thank you for reading, I hope that I can find the perfect fit! Take care:)
