As an experienced mother of four, I recognize first-hand the challenges of being a working parent and one of the greatest is always finding quality, reliable childcare for your kids. Being a working parent is nothing short of a juggling act and worrying about who will be caring for your children in the meantime can be beyond stressful. I'd like to help you with that. My four children (all approximately two years apart) are all in their twenties now with lives of their own. I have two girls and two boys and my experience raising them, although exhausting, has left me well-prepared to assist you in caring for your precious ones as you focus on providing. I have an 18-year background in a corporate office environment, but I would now very much like to get back to what I enjoy and do best: nurturing, teaching, and having fun watching a Read more child's mind ignite with imagination and enthusiasm! I live just a few short blocks away from Hagerstown City Park, so there are plenty of opportunities for play, nature, and exercise. I make it a point to limit television viewing time in place of activities and projects. In fact, I do not even own a gaming system. I enjoy cooking and gardening in my free time so I often incorporate these two activities when I spend time with children, especially my 4-year old nephew! And while I enjoy junk food from time to time as much as the next person, I strive to maintain a balance and always have healthy snack/meal options available; i.e. fruit smoothies, protein-based salads etc. I believe in reliability and accountability and that you deserve to have someone you can trust looking after your child/children while you work without the worry that they may not come through for you tomorrow. If this is something you would like to have for your family, I'd be very interested in getting together for a conversation to see if I'd be a good fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you. :-)
