I've been babysitting for over 18 years since when my brother was born. My first paying babysitting job was at the age of 13 when I cared for a 6-month-old. Since then I have looked after countless children, all of whom loved having me around. I adored all of the kids I've looked after, and was sad when it had to come to an end. I love being around the energy they have, and I have a natural instinct to care for anyone and everyone around me. My heart melts when it's time to leave and I ask for a hug, getting a grumpy "no", but when I go to walk out the door they run after me wanting a hug. I love arts and crafts, games (board, imaginary, or otherwise), singing for fun, and many other kid friendly activities. I'm just a big kid at heart, but I can Read more be strict when it's needed, the puppy-dog face doesn't work on me (although so adorable). If there is homework or chores to be done, that gets done before the fun stuff! Dirty diapers don't bother me whatsoever. I'm quite used to the messes of the kiddos, and will be on top of cleaning up as needed. I've been responsible for dinner, bathtime, and bedtime for 3 children ages 1-5, not to mention the numerous other children I've cared for. Children are precious, and I would be happy for the opportunity to care for yours. I am absolutely open to having a meeting with your children before any decisions are made. After all, it's a huge decision to decide on who you will leave your precious cargo in the care of, and you want to make sure that person is a good fit with your kids. I also will do dog walking, feedings, run errands, or do drop-offs and pick-ups of kids, pets, or family members. I have a 4x4 SUV, so no need to worry about me not being able to show up due to the snow. If you need some help tackling an organization project, that's right up my alley. I can help organize an area, a room, files/paperwork, a whole house or office, even your cabinets. References can be provided at time of interview.
