Hi I'm a mother of three and grandmother of two--and my daughter in law is also expecting baby #3! I'm offering child care. I owned and operated my own shipping and packaging service center- and then became a full time stay at home mom! Currently, I am a teacher's aide and noon/lunch duty supervisor and babysit part time, via app. I'm very allergic to cats, and I never use harsh chemicals or scents (sensitive to these) in my home cleaning. I'm available on a part time basis while my children are in school or afterwards, as well as Saturday/Sunday. Currently, while my 13 yo daughter is on summer break I'm available mornings and afternoons and she would love to join me in babysitting.
