I Love Babies And Have Two Beautiful Girls. 11 And 13.

I am a LVN who is looking to take care of infants and on. I have experience with special needs children. I know how hard it is to find a routine baby sitter for infants until potty trained. I want to work close to home and help out other moms transitioning from home to job or just a mom who could use some quiet time.
