Hello everyone! It has been forever since I have posted to my babysitting page, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still babysitting, pet sitting and house sitting! My hours for the job I am currently doing changes on March 1st so I will be working less hours is the way it seems. So if anyone is looking for a babysitter let me know and I will start posting my schedule on here again. If you have any questions about how much, or my availability is like please let me know! I will respond back :)

Thanks,
Michelle

Hey! Those of you guys with sensory seeking children I found this document on facebook! Which is super great! You can use a small bin or even a tubberwear container to fill with these sensory table fillers. The kids dont need alot but its super fun for them to play with! When I worked at the school we used to do sensory tables.

Hi everyone..... so I'm posting because I know alot of parents are following my page. I told everyone a few days ago I was going to SC to see my grandma. I did make it on Friday morning to their house. But sadly we lost my grandma today at 10:08am. It has been a very emotional day losing someone we love so much. We know shes in a better place and not suffering anymore.
We are now just waiting to find out when we are going to do the funeral. Those who I currently babysit / provide respite care for I will continue to keep you updated on when and if I need to cancel or move dates around again for that.
I really want to thank you guys for all the support and kindess that I have received during this hard time ❤️

New update on my grandma. I will be leaving tomorrow to go to see my grandmother one last time. She is no longer eating or drinking. So we were told she may have a few days to a few weeks left to live. So I am canceling everything scheduled for Friday and Saturday. I will find different dates for those who I provide respite care for.

Thank you all for being so understanding. ❤️

Hi everyone,
So I know I posted about my grandmother back in April, I just wanted to post an update so everyone knows whats going on.
I have posted before about my grandmother being on hospice for the last 2 years, I was told today that my grandmother is going to be put on morphine. As I have been told morphine slows the heart and will make her sleepy alot more. As of right now things arent looking so great. So I am just giving everyone a heads up. We do know the time comes for everyone at some point and we cannot predict when that time will come. But when it does I will be sending out texts to everyone I have scheduled with to cancel so I can go to SC to be with my family.

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to do an update. I recently went on vacation to see my grandparents. And those of you guys that I am close to and work with monthly know that she hasnt been doing to great. Shes been on hospice for almost 2 years now, and my sister has been doing a great job taking care of her. We went to see her over spring break, and she has lost alot of weight since the last time we had been there. And we have been going almost every other month to 2 months for a week at a time. I just wanted to keep you guys updated, I am continuing to book my schedule for respite and babysitting. But if something happens to my grandparents I will be canceling.

This is what stimming can look like: humming, whistling, fidgeting, tapping, spinning, nail biting, jumping, hand flapping and so much more!
