I have a lot of experience in babysitting, caretaking, cleaning homes, caring for the elderly, and much more. I have two adult children of my own that I raised by myself. I had an Aunt who had MS most of her life, and I was the one who took care of her. Cooking, Feeding, bathing, dressing, taking out, playing games, taking care of her financial paperwork and much more. I clean, shop, check on, and visit with an elderly couple every weekend. I have been doing this for the past 20 years until the present time. I have babysat for my niece which has 2 boys and one being Autistic, along with their 2 dogs. We engage in activities and arts and crafts. I try to keep them away from their I pads, phones, etc. I like to have open communication with a person face to face, not through messages. Read more I guess you could say I am old fashioned that way. About 10 years ago my FT job was cleaning homes for the elderly. I owned my own business at that time. Then went on to administrative office work. I have 3 pets of my own that are very healthy and loved. 2 cats and a dog. I enjoy the dog walks I think more than the dog. We have a huge yard and she rather just run through that If I am considered for this job I would most definitely get my CPR certification. I was a first responder at my last Job, and acted very quickly .I am always am with the child and watching so that no accident occurs. .
