“ I would like to babysit children ranging in age from newborn to 2 years old, up to 3 children. I am available anytime, any day. I have a 2-year-old myself who will turn 3 in June and a 12-month-old. I was working before having my second baby and my in-laws took care of our first baby. But they didn't want to help out with our 2nd one, so I was forced to quit my job. I'm not going back to work anytime soon since...

I would like to babysit children ranging in age from newborn to 2 years old, up to 3 children. I am available anytime, any day. I have a 2-year-old myself who will turn 3 in June and a 12-month-old. I was working before having my second baby and my in-laws took care of our first baby. But they didn't want to help out with our 2nd one, so I was forced to quit my job. I'm not going back to work anytime soon since daycare for 2 was too costly. I have a bouncer chair, 2 infant swings, a baby play mat, 2 full size high chairs, and a high chair that goes in a chair, and 2 playpens; so I can easily take care of my own children plus babysit 3. I have babysat friends' children occasionally and our 2-year-old nephew, plus we have twin nieces who I have helped with some. The biggest experience I have with children is caring for my own for the past almost 3 years. I will be happy to watch 3-year-olds also, just have more experience with babies up to 2 years old since that is how old my older baby is. I have plenty of books and toys, also we have a decent size backyard and an outdoor swing set, so could take kids outside if weather permitted and if the parents were okay with me taking their babies outside. I planned to charge $25 a day for more than 4 hrs or $20 for a few hours a day, although I am willing to negotiate if parents felt this wasn't reasonable. Hope to hear from you soon!
