Hello! My name is Colleen and I've been babysitting for over 15 years of my life. During this time I've worked with newborns through teenagers. I currently work full time as a licensed mental health counselor for children and teenagers. I have experience with behavioral, mentally ill, and developmentally disabled. I am CPR certified and know basic first aid. I've always been told that I'm a good balance of fun and rules. I will do a movie night with your children where I print up tickets and fake money then they get to purchase their tickets and snack options to watch a movie. This is an educational yet fun activity as the children need to manage their money. Ideas such as movie night only occur if your children have been following your rules all day. I'm an upbeat, creative person who can handle anything thrown at her. Minimum asking payment Read more is $15 to increase $5 for groups over 4 children, any larger groups fees would be discussed.
