Thank you for viewing my profile.. I am Lindsay, a college graduate, divorced, mother of four. Caring for children has always come natural to me. Innate love, compassion and patience in caregiving has taught me to teach & guide children in a gentle way. I was an attachment parent (baby wearing, bonded, close contact) with all four of my own children. I allow the child take the lead for creativity and exploration of their environment, with appropriate boundaries for safety and rules of the home. Respect, communication and understanding are very important to me in caregiver- parent dynamic, as well as with the children. I am available Monday, Friday and weekends, hours as needed. I want your children to be as comfortable as possible with me while you are gone. I prefer to meet in person once before beginning babysitting.

Always loved children since I was a child. Starting teaching preschool at my church at age 18. I have done so many types of volunteer work (with my children being involved as well), but the most rewarding has always been with helping children. They are our future and I believe parenting is not only the most important job we can have, but also the best and definitely the most rewarding. I studied Elementary Education in college years ago, but have always had the natural instinct to teach, especially while playing. I sure would love an opportunity to make a difference in other angel's lives.

I have a spunky 7 year old godson and his 4 year old brother I have taken care of when they were smaller and really miss those memories. They now sleep over some weekends. I take them out to the movies, get ice cream, and take them to the local pet stores because they enjoy animals. I also babysit for my aunts\uncles when they need a day off for themselves. I love animals.
