Hello! I am a mom of three kids. They are 21, 16 and 6. I homeschool my youngest which allows flexibility in our schedule. I bring my daughter with me. I will not be homeschooling her while caring for your children though. Starting in January I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm. We live in Winfield/Lakes of the Four Seasons. I don't mind traveling a bit further depending on hours and pay. I can babysit in my home or yours if that’s what you prefer. I always bring our own food and drinks with us and anything else that we need. We spend a lot of time reading, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, cooking, baking, homework, walks, parks, spending time playing outdoors when it’s nice. I’m very comfortable with caring for any age. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m ok with driving the kids for drop off and pick up to school or activities depending on distance. I have my degree in early childhood education. Before becoming a mom I taught preschool and worked in daycare. I also worked in before and after school childcare at an elementary school and summer camps. I have volunteered for years in my own kids' school as well as briefly working there teaching reading. I volunteered at church in the kid's ministry as well as working in childcare in the church. I am currently babysitting occasionally for a family but I really need to find something more consistent. I can provide references. Message me with any questions. Have A Blessed Day!!!

I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri
