A little bit about me

With my qualification in Family Development as well as an ongoing mother, grandmother and being a caregiver of over 35 years and also caring for my twin granddaughters who now live in our home, I feel I am more than qualified to care for anyone's children. I have at least 10 yrs of home healthcare experience as well as being a caregiver for my husband who was diagnosed with cancer in May of 2015 who is now in remission! I feel I am a nurturing, qualified and experienced caregiver who has also given care to my grandson with special needs until age 15 from 3 months of age. I feel I am well rounded with different age groups and would treat anyone's child/ren as my own.
My availability to babysit your child/ren would be 5 days a week in my home, preferably 3rd shift but can be negotiated.
