A little bit about me

I am a nurse, I have a lot of experience with children. I would be happy to care for a special needs child but not a child with profound needs. Happy to do light housekeeping but not deep heavy cleaning. I am considered a good cook and feel comfortable cooking for most dietary needs. My favorite thing to offer is nighttime care of a newborn. For the first 2 weeks or however long needed I take the night shift and you get to sleep until first daylight feeding. Not for all but much appreciated for those who use it.
