Hi, I'm a 41 old woman who is just a homemaker that's looking to earn a little income. I don't work but I am planning on attending college online this next quarter. I Crochet and very good at Crocheting but I don't sell enough of my projects to make extra cash from it. I am very openminded, easygoing and down to earth, willing to discuss and compromise on anything that may come up in the future whatever it may be. I have lots of patience, love kids and animals, I even have a 21-year-old son who lives with his girlfriend so besides the experience of being a parent I also have lots of years of childcare of all the years I have babysat since I was 12 or 13. Was trained in CPR while working at a daycare before my son was born and then a few years later just Read more for good faith so that if ever needed I would know what to do, can do the training again to refresh my mind and just so I can get a certificate if needed. As of right now I don't drive but can get rides to wherever in the evenings and occasionally during the day if pre-planned I can work arrangments out with my other half my boyfriend {Brent}. Since I don't drive I know it may be tough at times but I'm willing to compromise I always believe the best choice is for I to babysit at the child's home, not mine since my home is too small and I want the child in an environment where the child is more comfortable and at ease. I live a very quiet life no drama or lots of friends except a small handful that I don't visit with much but keep in contact with periodically over the phone or emails. I don't party, drink, do drugs, or smoke at least not cigarettes, occasionally I'll use my e-cig but I only use it if I'm stressed have been cigarette free for over 4 yrs now. I do have issues with pain in lower back and down left leg very frequently but don't even take the meds described because I don't like the way they affect me so I'm more into natural holistic remedies which I've been to physical therapy many times for and have taken many other self-help groups, I have learned to meditate with quiet timeouts on my free time to help with not letting it get the best of me. Available as needed or on an evening and weekend schedule depending on your schedule. I have no income at this time but do wish to get a background check just so everyone can be at ease with knowing I have a clean record, I may know this but everyone else doesn't I understand this. Hope to find someone somewhere to help out in their time of
