I'm on older Mom (48) whose son goes to school out of state. So, I am available for babysitting, and look forward to doing all the fun activities that I wish I could be doing with my 5 year old. I'll have him all summer and on school breaks, and would love to introduce him to your children if the ages match up and you approve of the idea. I love educational but fun activities, and have a lot of great ones to share. I've worked at two zoos, and participated in the educational programs at both. Also love to cook and bake with kids, and encourage crafts and other creative outlets. I would be happy to take them on outings, if you approve. I've been first aid and CPR certified before and would be happy to re-take the course. I'm an excellent swimmer and am in good physical condition.
