Stacey $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Stacey and I have been babysitting over many years of 30yrs of experience. I have 2 grown sons, nieces and nephews and grandchildren..currently I watch a couple of my friends' children... I have 3 huskies and 3 cats in home so if you have pets you are looking for care I can help with that also. My stepdaughter has 6 children, who i love as my grandchildren, including twins, I used to care for them on weekends when my daughter needed me. I consider myself a very experienced and fun caretaker! Until recently I was watching a 5yr old after I got out of work, picked him up from his aunt's house, took him home and fed him, helped with his homework, took him to playgrounds and fun adventures some days.
