My wife and I were houseparents at Tennessee Baptist Children's Home in Brentwood, Tennessee from 01/01/1992 - 04/15/1996 where we cared for up to 8 children (male & female) plus our 2 kids. From there we went to Youthtown in PInson, Tennessee where we covered the girl cottage from 04/15/1996 - 07/01/1996. I have been babysitting since my sister was born when I was 9 years old. I have been primary babysitter in my family for over 40 years and one of the few people my niece (by marriage) trusted to watch her 3 daughters who are now 19, 20, & 23. The 23 year old (my great-niece) has a 3 year old son (named after me) and a 6 week old son that I babysit pretty often; I am the only person that has kept the 6 week old, starting when he was 3 weeks old. Another niece had Read more 4 stepdaughters (sisters) ages 7 - 16 that I kept several times (including overnight. I have a lot of references and have recently signed up to work with "Birth Choice" at no pay...awaiting background and reference checks.

My 2 year old son LOVES Mr. Jim! He has watched him several times for me here and there while I was attending college classes on campus as well as when my primary babysitter was having a medical episode. My son never likes when it's time to leave Mr. Jim's house. He warmed up to him right away when they met for the first time. Mr. Jim actually takes the time to play and interact with my son. He has cameras inside and outside his home. I always enjoy the pictures and videos he sends me when he keeps my son. He is like a grandfather figure. I would recommend him to anyone!
