WHEN WE BABYSIT AT MAMA’S HOUSE WE ARE NOT JUST A BABYSITTER; WE ARE GRANDMA….AUNTIE….A PLAYMATE.


WHILE THE MOMS ARE BUSY WITH CLASSES,  APPOINTMENTS AWAY,  OR THEY JUST NEED A LITTLE TIME ALONE, WE HELP THEM BY TAKING CARE OF THEIR PRECIOUS LITTLE ONES.   WHILE DOING THIS,  IN OUR OWN SPECIAL WAY, MAKE THEM FEEL LOVED AND SAFE IN OUR CARE.

RIGHT NOW AT MAMA’S HOUSE THERE ARE 4 INFANTS….

1  BABY CRAWLING….

AND 2 TODDLERS WALKING….

BABYSITTING TAKES PLACE IN THE LIVING ROOM.  THERE ARE TIMES WE ARE ASSIGNED TO CARE FOR ONE BABY, BUT MANY TIMES IT’S A ROOM FULL OF BABIES AND TODDLERS; IN WHICH CASE, THERE ARE USUALLY TWO OR MORE SITTERS.  AND, IF NEEDED, WE CAN CALL ON THE HOUSE MOTHER TO HELP.

"WHAT TODDLER DOESN’T LOVE FOR GRANDMA OR AUNTIE TO PLAY WITH THEM.

….A QUILT ON THE FLOOR AND A CHEST FULL OF TOYS….TO HEAR THE LAUGHTER….I LOVE IT!”

MAMA’S HOUSE IS FULL OF LOVE.  

❤


AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THE WOMEN WHO LIVE AT MAMA’S HOUSE HAVE COME ON THEIR OWN ACCORD SEEKING HELP.  WE AS SITTERS ASK NO QUESTIONS. THERE ARE TIMES IN ANY HOME WHEN THINGS RUN SMOOTHLY, AND SOMETIMES, NOT SO SMOOTHLY, THAT’S LIFE!

KEEPING AN OPEN MIND, AND CARING FOR THESE PRECIOUS BABIES IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY WHILE BABYSITTING AT MAMA’S HOUSE.

OVER TIME WE GET TO KNOW EACH MOM AND HER BABY, AND BECAUSE WE CARE, THEY FEEL LIKE FAMILY.

❤

IF YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE YOUR CALLING TO VOLUNTEER……

PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO COME RECEIVE LOVE FROM THESE PRECIOUS LITTLE ONES.

“IT’S THE BEST!"

I WAS AN ONLY CHILD,  BORN AND RAISED IN LOS ANGELES BY LOVING, CHRISTIAN PARENTS. FOR 56 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL MAN;  WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND FIVE GRANDCHILDREN.  AFTER HEARING ABOUT MAMA’S HOUSE AT CHURCH ONE SUNDAY, I CALLED JAN AND ASKED IF I COULD BE OF HELP...THE VERY NEXT WEEK I WAS BABYSITTING.
