Description
I have 15+ Years of Childcare Experience. I have been sitting on and off since I was a teenager. I have babysat through Care. com in Atlanta, Ridgefield CT and now in Springfield MO. I also babysit through Sittercity. I love kids and have strong maternal instincts. I have good common sense, am a good listener and strive to follow your guidelines and family routines. I can prepare simple, nutritious Mom & Kid approved meals. I can do your children’s Laundry and run Errands as needed. I am a soft spoken sensitive person, who relates well to shy or reticent children. I’ve sat for some children in the Autism Spectrum. I enjoy doing creative projects with kids and encourage story telling, singing and dramatics. I am semi-retired and during my business career worked for two schools (a travel career training company and a Macintosh Computer school) and I worked for 15 years at a graphic design firm as the Office Manager. I waited on tables, was involved in community theatre and did some tv commercial work.
