A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bethany, I work typically in either food service or administrative positions to put myself through school in between sitting my niece and nephew.
Since they are getting to school age, it opens up more time for me and would be open to doing professional sitting.
I can do general child care (watch, teach, play, sleep, feed, diapers), pick up/drop offs, tutoring, meals, and light housekeeping based on the time and workload.
Any house rules and respects can also be laid out as well, clear communication is key and want to make sure there aren’t any allergy reactions or sleep/awake schedules that can be affected.
I enjoy reading a lot and documentaries. I also enjoy gardening, and being outside. I like to bake a variety of different types of desserts and it’s very rare for me to not have sweets on hand.
Houses with animals I don’t mind at all; this could be a house pet to livestock: I grew up on a farm and don’t mind helping out with them.
