I retired last May from teaching/library job. I let my children know really quick that I didn't want to babysit full time. I keep my grandchildren when the parents go out or go out of town for a few days and I love it then. But, I don't want to be tied down to full time at this point. However, that being said, grandkids are a precious gift, and aren't you glad you are having a part in shaping that precious life? Enjoy every minute of it!
