Find a babysitter in Gibson Island, MD

I am the proud mom of two children (one 28, and one 9). My son is with me 50% of the time, and my daughter is off doing her own thing. I miss the times when they were infants/toddlers, and because of that, this seemed like a great solution to fulfill the desire to still spend time with little ones as well as fill the void when my son isn’t home. I love to do crafts, play outside, and go on adventures (this was my son’s term for when we took trips to the zoo, beach for a day, went on a hike, etc.) I am a veteran of the USAF where I served for 5 years as a Russian linguist. I am bilingual in Russian and English, and have enjoyed teaching my son and daughter’s friends the language over the years. I am extremely patient, and have worked with children that have behavioral issues, and can deal with separation anxiety when their parents leave while the child adjusts to me. Lastly, I am incredibly respectful of parent’s rules, routines and structure. I don’t have the attitude that just because I raised and am in the process of raising my children, that “my way” is best. It also helps that I had a “helpful” (read meddling) mother in law who liked to “impart” her wisdom and knowledge for me to apply to my parenting skills. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile- I hope to hear from you soon! Best, Melissa
