Hello! I have been babysitting for 15+ years (and worked for 2 years as a full time nanny). I also worked in afterschool care and assisted with teaching Sunday school classes/church nursery. I've cared for multiple children at once, ages ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years. I'm willing to do household chores, run errands, and any other help you may need! Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor play. I've completed CPR and First Aid courses and have my own reliable transportation. Please reach out with any questions and thank you for your consideration!

I received one generic message with a cell #. So I responded both in App and Cell couple of times and I did not hear back at all.

She arrived early, and was great with the kids. We have three small children - 1,3, and 5. We had an emergency and she agreed to work longer than we had originally anticipated. She was very flexible, and when we asked her how she would handle certain situations, she was happy to handle any situation, whether it be discipline or bed time, as we typically do to keep the kids in their normal routine. We will be calling Merrell in the future to care for our little ones.
