Calling Babysitters in Newport!

LOCAL BABYSITTERS! 


I am writing this post because I have had an overwhelming number of parents asking me for babysitting services. Although I would love to babysit for these wonderful families I am busy tutoring away! 
If you are interested in babysitting part-time or occasionally please message me and let me know.
I would be happy to send phone numbers, resumes, references in the right hands! 


Remember to have your TB test and CPR training done :)!

Things to think about, as your child gets ready to go back to school!



Things to think about, as your child gets ready to go back to school!

·      What activities is my child doing after school?
·      What time are they going to bed?
·      What are they eating throughout the day?
·      How are they performing in school as well as outside of school?
·      How is homework time? Easy or difficult…what can I change to make it a better experience?
·      Who is my child hanging out with? Are they happy?
·   Have I introduced myself and communicated with my child’s teacher?


Make sure your child gets off to a good start this fall!
