Welcome!

Hello all,

I think the hardest thing is starting out. I have about ten stories back logged in my brain that I am just itching to share with you! But I feel that I must do this the right way and start out with a formal "Welcome" and "Thank you for reading" post. Maybe a little biography isn't bad either...then you at least know who you are dealing with.

I have been babysitting for the past 12 years (more if you count the times I was left in charge of my younger siblings!). It was my first job as a teenager. I earned my keep so to speak watching kids while their parents went out to movies or meetings. There were little terrors that I thought I would not survive and darling angels that I have watched grow-up over the years. No matter what though, I loved my time taking care of children. Even the monsters.

Now, with 12 years of experience and 12 years of my life behind me, I still babysit for a handful of families. It fills in the gaps that come with owning my own business that still has yet to earn it's keep. It also gets me out of the house (my business is run out of my home) and allows me the chance to snuggle, cuddle and play with children . Yes, one day my husband and I will have out own children, but we just got married and Mr. Darling and I are quite happily enjoying married life sans kids. One day we will invite a precious child into our love-filled relationship, but for now, we prefer to spend all of that love on one another. **And God help me when the day comes for me to find my own Part-Time Mother. God help those who apply for the position! The requirements and expectations are going to be pretty high.**

And so, I take my mothering skills and internal instincts and hire myself out as a Part-Time Mother to parents who are seeking someone who will love and care for their child just as they would! All the quirks and particulars included. Sometimes they are just in dire need of a little time away and at that instance I take on a Super Woman appearance, red cape and all, always arriving at the right moment. And when my time is done for the day and the parents return renewed and ready to take on full-time parenting again, I depart. And sometimes that is the best part about being Part-Time...the chance to leave work at work and only take home stories.

I think that is all the introduction you need. Let the stories begin!

Motherly Hugs,

PTM
