Looking for a part time, reliable, fun-loving babysitter for afternoons and evenings. You must have a clean criminal and driving record, your own car that you can drive our kids around in, a sense of humor, a firm but empathetic temperament, a creative side, a silly side, a loving side (for the kids!), and a love of dogs.
