I began babysitting when I was 12 years old and contiued through college. I also have watched children off and on during the past 30+ years. I have watched children for a couple of hours and for up to a week at a time (while parents vacationed or took work trips.) Since I am a teacher I am able to assist children with homework and school projects. I have worked with newborns and multiples. I have experience with children with special needs. I love being around children and enjoy playing and helping them devolop skills. I enjoy taking children on day trips and playing games or doing 'art' projects. I have current Red Cross training for CPR/First Aid/AED.
