Mature and responsible retired 62 year old who would enjoy the experience of watching your child. During summer of 2013 I watched 6 and 9 year old sisters. I prepared breakfast and lunch, took them to parks, the library, nature center and on play dates. We also read together, practice writing and doing math, and have done some crafts. Two evenings a week I watch a 6 and 10 year old, plus an infant while their mother is at school. We play, read, dance, sing and have snacks. Previous five years have been spent watching 3 and 5 year old brothers from infancy. Prepared snacks, assisted in potty training, sang, read and did other fun and educational activities with the boys. I took the boys to the park, on walks, to the library and did drop off/pick up from preschool. Also, I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old and have Read more watched friend's children, siblings and relatives throughout the years.
