I am a 31 year old mother of two and part-time college student looking to open my home to one or two children for a long term babysitting relationship with a good family. Ideally I would work with kids somewhere around my own children's ages. ( 8 year old boy/1 year old girl) I am looking to sit for parents who either need afterschool help or parents that work graveyard and need a safe environment and dependable care for their children to rest easy. I am willing to baby sit in your home if you are more comfortable that way, so long as my own children are welcome to be with me. I do have prior experience sitting for children as young as newborn and can furnish reference letter. I have experience also with elderly home care, and pet sitting. feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
