My name is Robin and I'm a 57 year old mom of 2. My daughters are 40 and 12. My 12 year old is an honor roll student and has been in the gifted program since the beginning of elementary school. I love all children, and have cared for children of all ages and with special needs since I was 12. I was responsible for caring for my adopted sister who was born with cerebral palsy, so I guess you could say that I have close to 47 year's caring for children. I've been a SAHM for the better part of 10 years, although I have done some occasional jobs caregiving and babysitting over the years. I am a licensed Certified Nursing Assistant (2009- present ) and have CPR/BLS/AED and first aid training and certification. I have experience working in private duty, Assisted Living and Hospital settings. I love animals Read more and have several of my own. I am very familiar with different special needs children, ie , Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, sensory issues, Dravets Syndrome, CP, MD., and congenital brain damage. My nephew was born with his front temporal lobe missing. Caring for someone with this delicate condition is similar to caring for someone with Alzheimer's. I've learned to have a lot of patience and compassion and how to redirect when the situation calls for it. Caring for my grandmother for years who suffered from Alzheimer's gave me hands on experience. But I have to say, the Best experience is being a mom for 40 years. I raised my 1st daughter by myself and have been pretty much a Solo mom to my 12 year old who is about to enter the 7th grade this August. I can care for multiple children of any age, with any special needs. Infants to tweens, diapers - no problem. Special diets - No problem. I have my own reliable transportation and I have no problems with Nanny Cams and SAHM supervising. A reliable trustworthy sitter should behave the same around your children when mom and Dad are away as they would if mom and dad are home. Availability: I will be driving my daughter to and from school starting 8/10. Aside from that, I have availability any day of the week and depending on the circumstances, can be available upon short notice. My daughter will be turning 13 this August 3rd, and is very much interested in babysitting to earn her own money . If my rates are too high, (my rate is $25/hr) my daughter is very mature and responsible ,loves kids, & cheaper I'm sure.

Trust & safety
