Babysitters in Charlestown, RI
I have always been babysitting at night growing up. A few years ago was a full time nanny to 4 children, an 18-month-old, 4-year-old, 6-year-old and 8-year-old. I watched them a lot of the summer for 3 years and since they moved, whenever they are in town and their mom needs help I will always babysit.
