Personal Trainer for Beginner

I am seeking someone who would be willing to teach me from absolute scratch, some basic, beginning moves--especially upper body. Although I have been walking for many years, now that I have hit my mid-30's and had a child...well, I'm finding out what I've always heard--that everything begins to change, and definitely NOT for the better! I have NEVER worked out in my life, and I am not proud to say that. So, I've posted this ad in hopes of finding someone with the knowledge necessary to guide me as the "newbie" I am through some steps I can take, without hurting myself(which is what I'd probably end up doing!), to toning, strengthening my core, and possibly even adding in some general strength training.
If you think you might be able to help me with these things, I would be ever so grateful. I will be adding more "haves" as time permits, so check back if there is nothing listed of interest to you at this juncture. Also, PLEASE feel free to drop a message in my mailbox at any time. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!
