Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Kerry, I have my Bachelors degree in Communication Disorders, and received my Doctorate in Audiology. I have worked as a pediatric audiologist for almost 10 years now and get a great deal of enjoyment working with kiddos and their families during what can be a difficult time. Being 34, a bit older, and having a full time job; I am looking to help out busy families on weeknights or weekends. I of course spent the vast majority of my teenage and early 20s babysitting for all my neighborhood families. I now enjoy watching my friend's children here and there when they need my help. I am CPR certified. I own my own vehicle. I am very respectful and trustworthy. I am comfortable with any ages of children, and am happy to help out with homework, transportation for kiddos obligations, light Read more housework, and preparing any needed meals. I am very comfortable with animals as well, I have a very wonderful 15 year old Cocker Spaniel. I live in the Golden Valley area. Please feel free to contact me if you are in need of a night or weekend occasional sitter. Thank you for reading my profile and good luck in your search! Kerry
