I'm a mother and a HCPS elementary school teacher. I can help you with your childcare or pet care needs.  I am mature and responsible.  Non-smoker.  Background and motor vehicle checks have been completed through Sittercity and through my employer. Occasionally, my mature 17 year old daughter will accompany me on childcare jobs. She is an experienced volunteer for special needs children with the YMCA at Shady Grove and with the Richmond Autism Integrated Network (RAIN). We enjoy working as a "mother-daughter team" providing quality childcare, so you might get two experienced childcare professionals for the price of one! What a deal! MY PROFILE: I am a dedicated and passionate full-time Elementary teacher looking to supplement my income by caring for your child/children. I am available, after school starting at 4:00 pm, and anytime during weekends. During the summer months I am available anytime. I would love to meet you Read more and your children! Please feel free to message me with your questions. Hope to hear from you!
