Special occasion, last minute plans, weekend getaways? This grandma will help with childcare needs
I am a retired Speech Language Pathologist that moved back to Oregon because of my grandbabies barely here and on the way. My pure joy and passion are children and specially being a part of the wonder and fascination in exploration and new discoveries. I utilized much of the Montessori concepts age appropriate.
