Beginning in late August, I am offering 10-12 hours per week of childcare for one child. I am interested in one of two possibilities: a young child or baby during the morning hours, or a school-aged child for after school care. I am a mother of two children, an 8 YO boy and a 5 YO girl. I love kids, and along with my own experience as a parent, I have volunteered at our church VBS and am involved with the local Cub Scouts.
