Find local babysitters in Columbia, CT

I am a mother to 3 teenage sons, 2 who are high school graduates. I chose to homeschool them. My oldest son is in the Marines. Over the years of homeschooling, I would occasionally watch children in my own home for parents struggling to find childcare. With the kids older, now I can step into helping other parents at times, as my schedule allows. I am a pastor's wife and have worked with kids in church settings for years, both through nursery programs and childrens programs.
