I'm a stepmom to two teenagers and have babysat for many friends and family over the years! Done everything from babysitting just a few hours, to caring for children for a number of days while parents are away for the weekend etc. I've taken care of and hung out with kids of all ages - anywhere from 3 months old and up. I have no problem with diapers, totally love being as active as the children need and desire, and have plenty of fun games, arts & crafts, etc to entertain with. I also grew up with 14 dogs and currently have 3 cats - so am extremely experienced with animals! Whatever you need, just let me know! I also have a lot of experience with housesitting, cooking, nannying, cleaning, home repair/maintenance, running errands, yard work, etc. I have been Red Cross and CPR Certified more than once, in case Read more of emergency. I moved to Grand Rapids a few years ago from New Mexico. My boyfriends kids were 11 and 13 at the time, and after just a matter of a few weeks, they were calling me stepmom. Since then, we’ve become very close! Im currently launching a new business so need some side work for an extended period of time to help with the bills while I slowly build to launch!
