After school babysitters in Lake Station, IN
I have raised two children, and now have two grand kids. I play on the floor with them. Anything from Pony to Barbies. I'm up for anything.
I would describe myself as the fun babysitter who lets the kids shoot water guns at me, snuggles and sings to babies and protects them like I would my own.
