A little bit about me

Hey there, I'm Pamela! I'm your average lady born and raised in Kansas (although I live in California now). I have great relationships with all of my grandchildren and greatly value respecting kids. They're only human too! I am certified in CPR and First Aid Training, so you can bet I am ready in case of emergency. I know it is hard to find a fitting babysitter, but I hope that you will give me a chance to do my best.

I have a pretty much free schedule, but I encourage you to message me privately if we're talking specific hours. Thanks so much for checking out my profile!
