Since taking early retirement late last year, I have been helping my dad (age 94) and his wife. My dad has had increased difficulty getting around and had lost a good deal of his short term memory. I've helped with meal preparation, cleaning, and I have driven them to medical appointments and helped them with errands. I have also raised 2 boys (now ages 16 and 19). My younger son has been diagnosed with ADHD and my older son has Epilepsy and I have learned to how to handle both of these conditions. I find helping others very rewarding.

    Kathy took care of our 7 yr old from 2019-2022 and our 2 yr old for a year. Kathy was excellent with our boys, she used to pick them up from school, take them out for walks and bring them home. She also used to take our older son to his music lesions, swim classes and local libraries and encouraged his reading habits very much. She would always share the days experience with our kids at drop off. She is very dependable and reliable. Kathy was the only babysitter who stayed with us consistently and even through the pandemic offering her services and assisting with challenges of virtual learning. If you are looking for an energetic, positive, reliable, consistent, and mature babysitter for your kids, Kathy is the person you would want. We had to leave her as we moved towns.
