This past year I worked with a family of 3 kids ages 4,6 and 9 doing mornings 6 am-9. I was responsible for getting the kids up and dressed,making breakfast, and packing lunches.I then saw the girls off to the bus and drove the 4 year old to his school! I also sat for a family with a 2 year old multiple times a week. I did lots of random nights for various families as well.For a period of time I also was teaching kids tumbling classes! I love being outside and getting the kids involved in things ! I am comfortable with all ages! I would love to find a family to sit for during the school year early in the morning before my classes like getting them ready for school and possibly after! I also would be open to date night sitting ! I am very reliable and flexible so I would love to find a family that is the same!
