Looking for a Babysitter???? The Shaver’s daughters, Caroline and Mackenzie - are raising money to go on a spring break mission trip to Mexico with the youth group. They haven't announced the cost of the trip yet - which is scary in and of itself :) - but they’re thinking it'll be around $600-$800 each. Probably their best way of raising their money will be through babysitting! So, during the holiday season, if you are in need of a sitter, please keep them in mind!! During the school weeks they can't stay out too late but weekends are great. Also, they'll be out of school on the 21st of December so during those two weeks they can babysit during the week for later hours.
