I have a full time job Monday-Friday as a Dental Assistant. I'm a mom myself and want to be home with my child on the weekends, so this is a perfect opportunity for me. Weekends will be my available time and maybe some evenings. Of course I love kids and I have been a nanny in the past! Would prefer to babysit in my own home.
