I have been in the resort/vacation business for the past 15 years. This past summer I got to do a little babysitting where I worked this past season. I absolutely loved it and it reminded me of how much I have to give to children and how much I love caring for them. I am also pet-friendly. Had dogs, cats, etc. growing up and enjoy caring for them, too. I have references caring for all of the above upon request. If you hire me to care for your children I will not only make it fun for them but will also try to incorporate activities which stimulate their minds. I am a college graduate and continue to educate myself about health, having a healthy mind, eating healthy, activities which stimulate the brain and soul as well. When I babysat over the summer I found over and over that the parents Read more were appreciative of the way we spent our time together. And I find it is a very rewarding experience as well.
