I'm a former "stay at home" dad who is currently available to help you part-time with your kid(s) and/or pets or elderly relative. I can be a babysitter / daycare / childcare or even limited elderly care provider in your home possibly saving you time and money. Your kid(s) get to be HOME in their own safe environment... You won't have to transport your kid(s) back and forth to school or daycare & no late fees.
I welcome the opportunity to have your kid(s) monitored and possibly communicate with you through the use of inexpensive, legal monitoring devices / cameras for your home if you choose to.
Bottom line: You set the hours you need and not restricted by some daycare place that is probably also closed on weekends...
My home may be available for short term use.

I am a good listener and enjoy children at all levels of development and curiosity. I believe in safety first and am effective at redirecting children toward positive activities and encourage their involvement in keeping things orderly. I can set clear boundaries when necessary, and I prefer patience and play, talking things out, humor and music, etc. Children seem to learn and respond best when encouraging their ever expanding curiosity and often combining it with having fun. I am also familiar with autism after living and working with an autistic boy, and I had an uncle with autism. I currently have an adult client with Autism and OCD.
My rates vary from $6.00 to $30.00 per hour depending somewhat on the time-length of service needed.
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you with your family.
The initial first call and/or get-together are free of charge for up to an hour.
