A little bit about us

I am a 'solo' mom with chronic health issues, and my daughter is very easy and very outgoing, but I do need help with her while my husband is out at sea. I have several
gastrointestinal issues causing me to be having consistent flare ups right now.

My daughter is very outgoing, loving but also extremely independent. She is level 3 on the Autism spectrum (lowest functioning) but it doesn't slow her down! She's the happiest baby I know. There are pets in home as well.

I need help Monday-Friday with occasional weekend help from around 11AM-3PM and on even worse days (really bad symptom days) from [phone number hidden] PM
