Sitter in Berkeley, California

I am 50 , mature but love to laugh, play, work in the garden, and read to/with kids. I can tutor in Spanish and French, have my own car. I am not looking for a full-time nanny position but rather fill-in babysitting, if that is possible. I have a 25-yr old of my own, so I am comfortable with all ages, but I'd like to concentrate on newborns, toddlers, up to middle school. I am recently unemployed but looking for full-time work - so when/if I get full-time employment, I will still want to babysit part-time. If you meet me, I think you'll find that I am the real deal: reliable, kind, energetic, a SAFE person to entrust your children with. God knows I paid a fortune with daycare so I know how wrenching the search for quality help is. Good luck if we don't meet!
