NOTE* I DO NOT DO HOUSEWORK NOR CAN YOU HAVE SOMETHING SHIPPED HERE UNTIL YOU MOVE HERE! I AM A NANNY-PET SITTER-HOUSE SITTER or COOK. Hi, i am a loving and reliable mom of 3 (36,32 & 28) and 8 grandchildren, i am a young 53, I love to read, watch movies, play board games, or just sit outside and talk or snuggle your little ones. I have good morals and values. I reside on the Columbia/ Springhill area but can travel. I worked for a school district for 12 years in the before and after school care centers as well as in the nutritional/food services. I also volunteered for over 25 yrs in classrooms, daycare, library etc. I worked at a (very large church) as a head teacher for sunday school during 8 services a week with babies walking to age 4. I went to school for many child Read more education, child development, child psych, etc classes as well as library sciences. At one time in my early 20's I was a private investigator. I was an after school nanny for a 8 & 10 yr old for a while (until dad was in fatal car accident) I was also a private nanny for 3 little boys (2 when I started) they were 18 mo, 9 mo & newborn as well as my 2 grands who were 7 mo & 5 mo. I nannies for 2 little boys until we moved across country. I am an extreme multitasker -obviously right? But also love the one on one interaction. I hope to hear from you soon. I also love to cook my hearty homestyle dishes, If prepped in my home and cooked in your home the prices are as follows $60 + ingredients for 1 night a week $55 + ingredients ea night for 2 nights $50 + ingredients ea night for 3 nights $40 + ingredients ea night for 4 nights. $250 + ingredients to pre prep a weeks worth of main dishes.
