I am a very young 70 year old grandmother and great-grandmother. Recently I was keeping a baby from birth to 14 mos. His family moved to Texas so now I miss having a baby to care for. I offer much love, attention and nurturing care. I have been a substitute teacher in all the Franklin schools for 8 years specializing in special needs children. As your child is old enough I will be teaching them what it takes to get ready for Kindergarten (colors, numbers, shapes, letters). I also teach basic signing to help you child communicate before they talk. I sing a lot so I will be singing to your children as well. Being artistic, I will have crafts as your child is old enough. Would truly love your baby as if I was their own grandmother. My hours are flexible. Thanks for your consideration.
