Galina's House

I am a high school math teacher who is taking this year (2014-2015) off to stay home with my only son who is about to be 3 months old. I am seeking to supplement my husbands income by opening up my home and offering child care to another family :)

I am a very patient and meticulous person who does not overlook small details when it comes to care giving. I will treat your child as my own while they are in my home, which means lots of comfort, attention and stimulation.

We have all the equipment necessary to care for an infant if needed (pack and play, changing table, cradle swing, bassinet, snugg-a-puppy, bouncy seat, bouncy saucer, bouncy-door-seat, a separate room with crib, a video baby monitor, bottle warmer, boppy for propping, gumbo seat, stroller etc.) so there would be no need to travel with or provide your own equipment every day. The only thing I'd ask is for you to provide your own formula and diapers obviously.

Since I am home 24/7 with my little guy my hours are very flexible, ideally I'd like to watch your little one daytime Monday through Friday so we could have family time in the evenings when my husband gets home. Like I said however, I'm always home so I'm very flexible and willing to accommodate any situation. Also the price listed is just a ballpark because I am required to post one and is meant as a weekly total, but like I said, tell me your situation and we can figure something out.

As a new mother myself, I am very understanding of the hectic life of new parents so I'm not the type of person to get irritated or start charging extra if you are running late and would need me to keep your little one past our agreed time. I also know how hard it would be to leave your little one (as you can tell since I can't even bring myself to do it this year!) I don't mind being checked up on, I'll text you and send you pics all day as much as you like :)

If you have any questions about me, my home, my care giving style or want to talk hours and dollars don't hesitate to contact me. If interested, I'm open to meeting for coffee or having you visit my home, there's nothing I can write on here that could replace simply meeting a person and determining if the vibe is right for you :)

notes: I am CPR certified. I have pets in the home.
