Hi - My name is Mo and I'm a nanny & home organizer. I am mainly offering weekend household services at this time. I do occasionally accept child care requests. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, etc. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. My daughter is well behaved and will sometimes accompany me when I babysit.
