About Heaven

I started working with kids when I was about 8, beginning by taking care of my neighbors newborn(s) so she could shower, eat, or do housework. I remained a babysitter for this family for over 10 years. After my neighbors children I watched my cousins for about 5 years on and off. Now I'm back to watching my new neighbors children occasionally, she's got 5 under 11 years old. As challenging as it sounds, they're a joy to babysit. I look forward to meeting and working with new families. In my spare time, I like to go hiking with my dogs, enjoy the local Oregon nature, read, and play my cello or mandolin. My skills include entertaining, engaging and learning. I like to read stories, play games, and work with children intellectually at their levels. I'm also fluent in four languages so I can teach introductions or favorite colors or counting in French, Italian, and Spanish. And finally and I believe most importantly, I am CPR certified for infants and up.
