Hi June. Saw your add and if you are needing say Friday night or Saturday night help, I could probably do that. I am a part-time nanny on a regular basis now... and I usually work every night of the week and some Saturdays. During the week, I usually work from 4:30 to 7:30 or 8. I usually don't work Fridays as the mom has to only work a half a day. I was recently laid off from my position as Executive Assistant to the CEO of Children and Families of Iowa, due to budgetary issues. As an employee of CFI, I've already passed a background check. You list $10 to $20 as your wage offered, I would meet you in the middle and charge $15 an hour. If you are interested in me you could send a text to my phone: 515-360-3866. My name is Ann Jarnagin. I like kids, babies and animals. I could come to your place or you could drop the baby off at my house. I have cats and a chihuahua:-) I am a smoker, but can certainly do without a cigarette for a few hours!! I have never smoked at the house or on the property of where I am a nanny.
