Hello-
Are you looking for child care? I am happy to help you get through the foreseeable future. I am happy to go your house to care for your children generally between the ages of newborn and fourteen. I have been asked to transport the children to school & other activities. I have prepared family meals, supervised play dates and fun educational activities. I have done the grocery shopping, helped with instrument practices, laundry, clothing shopping. I also run errands for parents like dry cleaning and hired house hold maintenance. I have assisted ill parent, and assist a wheelchair dependent parent.
You may need help because:
• Your wonderful nanny wants to take a vacation to rejuvenate her battery and you need child care.
• You need a childless vacation or need to travel for business.
• You suddenly found yourself without a nanny and need time to find the right one.
• You have been given a big project at work and will need help on the home front.You have found the prefect nanny or au-pair for your family but they cannot start yet.
