I am a SAHM of three children (9B, 5G, 2.5B). I have been married for 12 years. I consider being a mom my greatest blessing! I love being with my children and playing with them. We love to read, play, sing songs, and act silly! During the spring, summer, and fall we enjoy spending LOTS of time outside! We also take frequent trips together to the library. Growing up I was the oldest of 5 children. We are very close in age and I grew up helping my mom with my younger siblings.  I also started babysitting my cousins for family get togethers and a very young age.  I began babysitting for neighbors when I was 12 years old.  In early high school I spent 2 summers being a nanny (one for a neighbor and the other for my aunt).  I have continued to take care of children, in addition Read more to my own, as an adult. After I had my second child I left my job to be a SAHM. I found a family who needed childcare and have been with them for 5 years now! I am always on the hunt for additional hours that fit with my location and time available. I prefer to provide care in my home, but for the right fit may consider other needs. I love being around children.  There is something about them that brings a smile to my face.  Kids are so curious and eager to learn about the world.  I grew up having dogs and cats, but currently my family doesn't have any animals.  We plan on getting a dog in the future, but we live in a townhouse and would prefer to have a yard first.  I truly enjoy being around children and appreciate the opportunity to be entrusted with the care of other's children. I know that it is an important decision to find someone to care for your children in your absence and I do not take that lightly! Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
