I have plenty of caregiving experience from babysitting jobs in my youth (all ages), but the majority of my experience has been gained through mothering my four year old boy. I recently left a very demanding job and would love to spend more time with him than go back to harsh hours. So, I'm looking to babysit or nanny 1 to 3 children of any age. My schedule is currently completely open after leaving the job, so I'm free to do pickups, dropoffs, cooking, cleaning, field trips, etc. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and an Associate's in business, so homework help won't be an issue, if required. We live in Oak Grove in a 3 bedroom house, so I can care for children here or travel elsewhere. My son is very sociable, well-behaved, and would love some playmates!
