Hello, my name is Christa Thornton. I am a mother of two grown boys, ages 25 and 22. I have always enjoyed working with children! During college, I worked at a daycare. I also worked in a nursery at a gym facility when my boys were little. I have always enjoyed helping my friends and family members out by babysitting for them , when needed. I have babysat for a few hours, all day, after school, over night, for the weekend, and even gone on week vacations with families to assist with their children. Children, in my opinion make the world a happy place! Since my children are grown now and I am not a grandmother yet, I would love to babysit for others. I am available for any hours needed. My favorite ages are from newborn to 3 years old, but I am completely comfortable with any age. I Read more would be available to pick up children from school, take children to their activities, keep them over night or longer, if needed. I also do not mind running errands, doing housework, or pet sitting. I love animals as well!
