Hi- My name is Chris. I am 46 years old and married with 3 kids of my own. Two in college and one a junior in high school. I am offering child care and household services. - I come from a large family with 7 brothers and sisters and more than 47 nieces/nephews and grand nieces/nephews. So, as you can imagine, I've been around babies and kids my entire life, and have been babysitting and taking care of my older siblings kids since I young. - Because I've raised 3 kids, I'm familiar with school schedules, drop offs, after school activities, sporting events etc. - I love kids! I love spending time with kids! My mom was a pre-school teacher for over 30 years and I would often help her out in her school. - I cleaned houses as a part time job in college so have a lot of experience with that as well. - We live in the country and have 3 dogs. I love to cook, but I also enjoy crafting, sewing, boating/camping, decorating for all holidays (especially Halloween and Christmas) following my son to his sporting events, and just spending time with my whole family! -I love to share my cooking, crafting, sewing and decorating ideas with all kids in my family and would love to share them with yours. - I like to be busy and love to spend time outside.

"She was so flexible and came last minute to help out. The house was really neat when I got home and both kids were asleep. Two thumbs up!"
