Started watching neighborhood and church children when I was 10-13. I'd go to the house and play with the children, make them lunch/dinner, sometimes I'd help the parents out with a little cleaning.Started watching neighborhood and church children when I was 10-13.

I have no children of my own because I can't afford one. I've always loving watching children but as I get older I enjoy it even more. I am a fun loving person. Very calm hard to upset. In my free time I am usually playing with my puppies or visiting my family.
I watch all types of children mainly older ones now. 6yrs-13yrs... but all these children used to be babies and I watched a lot of them when they were. I am comfortable with all ages... It is a little hard for me to watch males who are 12+, I like to keep children busy when I watch them and I'm a female and not sure what the older male children find fun except sports.
I like to be outside when it's nice.I like to do arts & crafts when it rains. Either way I like the kid to get a little exercise if they are old enough.
For children I've watched on a regular basis I also love to bake with them every so often. (See the lovely cookies in my photos) It's a great reward for children that behave well.
Fees
$ 5.00 Dollars Per Hour
I'd like at least $5 an hour for 1 child, plus $3 for each additional child.
If house work (other then cleaning up after myself and the children) or a special needs child is involved I'd like an extra $1.5 per hr.
I will also take care of a pet if needed. (feed/walk)
