Hello there- I have worked in early education for the past 15 years. We were blessed with a beautiful baby boy and I dedicated this past year to staying home with him. We were struggling to find a babysitter and so I thought there must be more mothers like me out there having the same struggles. So I decided to take some time to help other mothers out. I am open to week nights and weekend care. Mom to mom reach out and lets chat to see if we are the perfect fit for each other.
