Hello Parents, Here is a little about me. After you read this and you are still interested in using me let me know when I can meet your family. At age 12 my first job was at a bowling alley watching children in Pensacola. In my mid-20's I married a childhood friend who I convenience to enlisted into the Navy. We moved to Virginia where I volunteered in a place that was a holding place for children whose parents or guardians didn't want them or couldn't take care of them. Most of the children were sad. I worked hard to figure out how I could put a smile on their faces. I'm no longer married but I have 2 wonderful sons from the marriage. When my sons were young, we moved back to Pensacola. I took a lot of child development classes from PJC. I've worked in several childcare businesses Read more and Retail businesses. When my sons became adults and lived on their own, I started caring for one Military family's young children at a time in my home or their home. All of these families got transferred but they still send me pictures of their children. My fee is $15 per hour, and I only accept cash that is paid on the same day that I work for you. I'll take your child outside to play with their toys or play games inside on raining days. If I'm watching your infant, I will talk, sing and use age-appropriate toy to entertain them. While your older child is playing, I'll ask them to touch a color, count the toys etc. Bathroom time and washing hands often are important. If they are happily playing inside and I see laundry that needs to be folded or the floor that needs to be swept you may see me doing it. So, if you are still interested let me know.

Wanda babysat my 12-year old and 9-year old girls after school during the 2011-2012 school year. She is dependable, encouraging, and respectful of parents' guidelines. I am an active-duty military member and was delighted that she was always available when I found myself needing last-minute care. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please call 850-497-2561. * One last note: I received a call from someone while I was vacationing at my dad's in Arkansas. I have little to no signal there and the voicemail cut in and out. Because I was unable to understand all of the numbers, I was unable to return the call. Please call again if you would like to talk.
