Hello, First thank you for taking a look at my page. I love being a nanny/babysitter. I have been doing it for several years now and I have gained a mast amount of knowledge about kids and their needs. I have experience with kids as young as infant to teenagers. I have a complete high school education and almost done with college. I took time off for some personal reasons. I love to read with kids and work on arts and crafts, baking anything really that keeps them engaged. I have experience with large groups of kids as well. Great references and even a review on my page for your convince to read. I am an open book. I am a one of a kind sitter, I always leave your house as I found it. I take kids outside for walks when weather is good, I learn quick and you Read more will only have to tell me the routine once. I don't even mind the short notice calls either.

My name is Lisa, and Valarie babysat my girls for almost a year until we had to leave the area. My girls LOVED her. If they knew she was coming over that evening, they'd ask about her all day. When is Valarie coming? Is she here yet? Will she be here when I wake up from my nap? She was incredibly patient and flexible. I never knew what my own schedule was going to be, and she was willing to sit for us with less than 24 hours notice. She got the hang of our routine quickly, so that when she arrived, I could always leave without a lengthy list of instructions. As a sitter, Valerie has a wonderful sense of creativity and imagination. The girls were always playing a new game when I came home, or telling me about it when they woke up the next morning. Valerie was truly a gift to our family - I hated to give her up! In short, she is trustworthy, responsible, fun and flexible. If you hire her, you won't be disappointed.
