I've had the pleasure of taking care of others my entire life. I am a registered nurse but more recently, I had to resign from my full time job working night shift due to the shift not meshing well with me personally or my families schedule. I have decided to take on baby sitting! When I was in my teens I babysat along with my older sister, and I have 4 children of my own and have had the privilege of caring for my great nephew from birth til now, which he's 1 1/2 years old. I may not have as much "childcare" or nanny experience as some other sitters but I can assure you, your child would be safe and cared for while under my supervision. I've had all my clearances including child abuse. I am certified in first aid, CPR adult and infant, and am highly capable of Read more caring for your child or children. Also, I have psychiatric experience with ADHD, ODD, bipolar, and mood disorders. I've done home care, and school nursing in elementary schools recently; working with all the students but more individually with diabetic, epileptic, and autistic children. So if you have a child with any special needs, I have the patience and skills to accomodate.
