Hi. We are still looking for someone that is in the West Central District (closer to sioux falls) that the bus could use as a "drop off" point M-Th around 1130-1145...I am also in the process of finding someone to transport him from the "drop off point" to his daycare 3-4 miles away since the school bus only busses in the WC district. Also need before/after school care in the WC district for my two girls. Sorry if this sounds confusing...I'm confused typing it! PM with questions! Thank you!

Need someone beginning the first week in September. Thanks, Kristina

Need a night out? My daughter would love to babysit for you! Kindra is a very responsible 13 year old (14 in Nov.) who loves children. She has three younger siblings (including one very ornery little brother) and has completed a Campfire USA babysitting course. Once school starts she will be busy most week nights with sports and dance, but free on the weekends.
If you are interested PM or email me, BeccaKC@aol.com

I'm available in the mornings from 5/6am-1030/11:15am. Just depends on what time I have to be to work. I work afternoons and am looking for extra hours. OR I'd be available after 6pm-12midnight, but my kids may be with me, except for Tues and Thurs nights they would not be with me, and they would not be with me in the mornings. I"m current in First Aid and CPR. I love kids and have been working with kids since 2000, and before that I did alot of babysitting for different families. I LOVE kids and being with and around them. I dont smoke and I have reliable transportation...Just looking to make extra money and I love kids. If you need more info just ask!!

Or if anyone is looking for a wkend sitter, I"d be available. I'd be available from early morning til around 430pm, after that time my kids would be with me, but they would be home with their dad til that time.

Hi,
I was recently just talking to my husband about doing daycare a couple nights a week. I work a full time job (12hr shifts/3 days/nights/week), so it would be different days but I can give a schedule of the days I can babysit.
If anyone is interested feel free to pm me.
