Sitter in Houston, Texas

I am a 58 year old former healthcare professional with over 28 years experience.Being profoundly unhappy,I made the decision to no longer participate in an industry that I felt was doing more harm than good .I felt it was time for me to do something I enjoyed and could do with a clear conscience.. I have always had two loves in my life, children and cooking. I am that woman who will walk up to anyone to hold their baby or play with their kids. I was known as the "baby whisperer"at work. I have a "something" that children seem to see and they trust me. I have had kids come to me and not want to go back to their parents.(maybe I shouldn't put that in here!SMILE)As to my love of cooking,I am not formally trained.I grew up in an ethnically diverse family,and literally learned sitting on grandmas' laps.From true southern soul food on my mother's side,to the taste of the islands from my Barbadian/Panamanian father's side of the family,I gained a true appreciation for good cooking.Having met and made friends from all over the world during my military days and after,I can make everything from kimchee to kuchen.Having taken the plunge head-on into a brand new career,I have now been a full-time nanny for almost 6 years. Here is a a list of things about me that I, as a parent and employer would want to know about the person taking care of my family 1. I am a devout, bible toting, conservative Christian 2. I am a US Army veteran 3. I have raised a child of my own, who is the joy of my life 4. I am a bit of a hippie (natural remedies, organic foods, etc.) 5. I am infant, child and adult CPR and AED certified 6..... pastimes include reading, music, cooking and baking, and I love old movies. I look forward to answering any questions you might have for me, and I definitely look forward to cooking for you and/or loving on your babies,if you'll have me.
