Meet Valerie
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I'm a mom of 3 grown children with 3 dogs, 3 cats and a small parrot. I'm currently employed as an elementary school secretary with a large part of the summer off. I can provide current clearances upon request. I am familiar with special needs and allergies. I'm fun loving, creative and have no problem filling time with games, activities and things that make us smile. When my children were pre-school and school-age I babysat for two separate families fulltime.
