I have been a pediatric nurse for 28 years. My daughter is moving to New York City for college and I am looking for a change. I will be relocating to the Spring Texas area in the coming months. I am great with children and would love to help out a family by caring for their children as if they were my own. I have never been a nanny but have a lot of babysitting experience from the past. I have taken care of very sick children in the hospital with problems ranging from leukemia to feeding difficulty. I worked many hours in the nursery where the children stayed when their parents weren't able to be with them due to work or family situations such as other children at home to take care. I enjoy playing games, indoors and out, swimming, reading books to children and just sitting on the Read more floor playing with barbies, legos etc. As a nurse I am CPR/BLS certified as well as PEARS certified. I can offer a family help with the children as well as assisting with household duties as requested.
