I looked after a single mothers two children a boy, age 13 and a daughter, age 6. The family I looked after before that was a single father of three boys, ages 6, 11, and 13. Those boys had gone through several sitters according to the father, they did have some behavioral issues at first but once I got to know them I found it was just children trying to understand their parents divorce. I have helped 4 other parents and couples as well. I have been trained in CPR and first aid.
