Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I am very excited to continue my journey on Sitter City. A little about me: I am married, two boys (5 and 1. 5), I love to garden, craft, read and play outside. I currently watch 3 children 3,5 & 6 before and after school and a 9 month old part time. I also work in our church with babies & toddlers. I worked in insurance for over 10 years. I recently decided to find a career that I would be able to spend time with my boys and help others out for an affordable price. We know how hard it can be to find a dependable sitter that you trust, we've both been there. We have no problem checking in with you as often as you need, sending pictures, videos, providing a summary of what activities Read more we did and what we ate as well as any additional things that may make you feel more at ease. Lots of fruits, veggies, lean meats and natural snacks. I'm comfortable with cloth diapering, pace feeding, keeping a set schedule and following your routine. I am CPR infant/adult certified, Megan is as well. We are proactively working on getting her home licensed. We are available through the week 6a-6p and most weekend date nights. It would need to be in Bloomington, at our location. We are about 5 minutes from the airport. We are available for pick up/drop offs. If you have any questions or would like to see if we are a good fit, please feel free to reach out! Looking forward to meeting you and your little!
