Retired nurse looking for supplemental income. Having relocated to the area I know personally the struggles of young families, I know have six grandchildren under the age of five. Often go home to helpout, of course their was twins so was very needed to aid in daily care and transport children to school and activities,prepare meals all of which are home made. I enjoy engaging children to join, teaching skills of daily living is very important structure. Enjoy reading,playing games to engage in social skills and just have fun. Long history of medical background so I am qualified in emergency situations. In short I like kids.

Margaret worked with my family daily for a month. Over time, we realized that she is emotionally unstable and unprofessional. I hope that she can learn how to manage her emotions before working with another family.

We had booked Margaret to watch our son Saturday from 1-6 pm which we needed for work. We provided our address via text message at 3:28 pm on Thursday. We called and spoke with her on Thursday evening- confirming the times and the date and spoke for almost 20 minutes. She texted her address to us (not sure why) on Friday morning. On Friday at 7:28 pm we texted to confirm the sitting. We messaged her via Sitter City app on Saturday morning and texted her to confirm. We also called when she didn't respond- it went to voicemail and we left a message. She finally responded by text at 3:30 pm (2.5 hours after she was supposed to be here) that she didn't have our address. We had already texted it to her at that exact number and in the message string. Bottom line- unreliable and I don't believe that she is telling the truth. I don't recommend.
