I am a single parent and an empty-nester. I have taught summer camps at Dartmouth, Amherst and locally a summer camp cooking class at The Mirman School for Gifted Children. I’m very responsible. My son is an athlete, so I spent many hours driving to and from tennis tournaments. I’m a safe driver and you can count on me. I’ve had CPR training as well. I’m in Santa Monica but have car and will travel. You can contact me last minute as well. Weeknights and weekends are very open for me if you need a date night. My job is to make sure your children or child is safe, having fun and learning and a little humor goes a long way. I'm here to be of service to YOU. Rates are flexible and I love animals.
