A little bit about us…

Looking for a nanny to watch my two babies for $16/hr. No more than 6 hours usually. I'm just desperate for some me time once in a while. It will be, usually, over the weekends. Saturdays only unless there is a week day my husband has off. We do have a dog you can keep him inside or outside. It doesn't matter. He doesn't need care. My son's name is Samuel and my daughter is Kaileigh. We are still working on potty training our girl. It is an as needed gig as I do not work.
