I love kids and pets. I’ve done lots of nannying from infants to teenagers, as well as tutoring. When it comes to pets I’ve also had lots of experience with all sorts of dogs and cats and I worked at a pet store for two years.

I'm a grandmother with many years of experience helping my children raise their children from infancy up to elementary school age. I have 4 grandsons and 1 grand daughter, so I usually have my hands full, but may occasionally be open to taking care of other children when my grand kids are out of town. Thanks for checking out my profile!
