I've been babysitting since I was around 12-13 years old, starting with my sibling's and the kids of my neighborhood and my cousins. I'm 28 years old now, and I have a 1 year old son, and also a widow.. I lost my husband of 7 years due to health issues, unfortunately. I also have worked in a daycare. I have plenty of references. I currently am living home with family, I'm low income, so I'm understanding to others money issues and willing to always work something out if you choose me to babysit. (THE AVERAGE RATES I HAVE LISTED AREN'T ANYTHING SET IN STONE,LIKE I SAID,I'M UNDERSTANDING,AND PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE ) I like to do arts and crafts and outdoor activities with children. Enjoy taking them to parks, petting farms (only one I really know of is the one in Taylor at Heritage Park) , going for walks, movies, Read more maybe Chuck E Cheese ,bowling, etc. But I know doing arts and crafts is very good for children, and I consider myself "artist" and kids always seem to love doing art projects with me. Also love to bake with kids, of appropriate ages of course. Cake decorating and all! I did graduate high school, Southgate Anderson, class of 2005, and attended college, but didn't finish, yet. I plan to go back and finish to be a drug and alcohol counselor. I'm an open book, anything else you'd like to know, please feel free to ask :) Thanks!
