Joanna $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a mom of three school-age children, looking for regular work on Monday and Tuesday mornings. I was a SAHM until my kids started school, so I have experience in caring for young children and pets while managing a household. I also have paid experience as a nanny for an infant before having children of my own. I am currently building my own business and looking for additional income to supplement that endeavor. I am available 9am-2pm Mondays and Tuesdays. This is not flexible but I am open to occasional babysitting outside those hours.
