I have two kids who I stayed at home to raise. They are happy, caring, responsible people now in the world. I loved raising them and would enjoy now helping other parents, who are unable to stay at home to raise their own children. The truth is, I need a job, just like everyone, to pay the bills each month. But the only thing I have really loved doing over the years, after various jobs, is being with children...not in a school classroom setting with 20-30 kids, but in a family setting. I enjoyed so much my times with my kids, taking them to parks and playing games with them, reading to them, watching Disney movies with them. It's what I loved, more than anything, to do. And the "work", such as changing diapers, feeding and cleaning up after them, and helping with homework, was never something that bothered me Read more at all. On the contrary. Raising my kids has been the most rewarding job I've ever had, and it's the only job I can proudly say I did very well, despite being a modest person otherwise. You can meet my kids to see the proof. And I feel weird calling it a "job", since it's what I wanted (and still want) to do. I really believe I'm highly qualified to help other parents raise their children. I am responsible and mature, and yet I'm still a kid at heart myself, so just love being silly with kids. I'm the one at the park who didn't sit around gossiping with the other moms, no, I'm the one running around with my kids there, going down slides with them and playing tag. We always have kites and a frisbee in my car because you never know when there will be an opportunity to get out and play. I'm very artistic and so love to help children develop their artistic side, through drawing and coloring, and playing and listening to music, and always singing and dancing...just goofing around! If you want someone who will not just take care of your child/children (which I will...I will make sure they are very safe and comfortable at all times), but who will also help them develop into well rounded, happy people, then please take the time to get to know me so you can make the right choice of such an influential person in the life of your child. Teachers and caregivers have just as important of an effect on your kids as you. I'd like to help you raise your child/children to be the nicest and happiest people possible. It's what I love to do.
