Description

Hello – I’ve lived outside Oconomowoc for over 30 yrs with my husband. We have one small dog and a cat, but no children. After much involvement with my mother and special needs sister until their passings, I would love to sit for a child/children on available weekends at our home. We really enjoy children and we are certified foster respite care providers, but this only occurs sporadically.  We are responsible, conscientious, respectful, positive, optimistic, active people and enjoy creating fun and special times for others. We both work full-time but could care for kids on weekends at our home. (I had to fill in a number in the distance from home field, but I am looking for sitting at our home.) While occasionally short notice might be OK, normally would need to schedule ahead. Happy to have a home visit and discuss/provide proof of respite care certification. Some of our interests include travel, the outdoors, animals, reading, art, music, sports, woodworking.  As sitting would be at our home, children could be from various surrounding areas (Oconomowoc, Delafield, Dousman, Wales, etc.).
