Hi I’m 65 yrs old and have many years experience caring for children. I’m retiring and love children and would be able to provide a safe and fun environment . I would prefer to care for children at my home in Vestal. I Can bake,cook, play games ,take them to parks zoos . My husband is retiring too and has horses which are very kind and gentle and love kids too. We both have worked in the service industry for years and early in our career owned a licensed day care center.
Babysitters on UrbanSitter are background checked every year, with every profile individually reviewed by our Trust and Safety team.
