I’m a positive, bubbly, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys caring for others. I’m great at multitasking and have experience working in long-term care with all types of patients, including dementia care, rehabilitation, and daily household support, where I built strong, trusting bonds. I also spend a lot of time caring for children, including my infant nephew and a close friend’s four-year-old daughter. I love watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence, and I enjoy being a positive role model through guidance, patience, and encouragement. I’m happy to help with errands, school-related tasks, and daily routines, and I always aim to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment.

My employment background is Executive Assistant and now that I'm retired, my desire is to return to my first love "children". I began babysitting my nieces and nephews at age 12 up to my current grand children. I worked at a daycare center, and volunteered at Girls, Inc and both were rewarding experiences! My childcare tasks includes, meal prep & feeding, baths, parks, YouTube educational videos! board games, story times, drives to/from school or Dr. Appts, soothing fears, applying a bandaid (if needed), animated movies, walks, & hugs!

I am a dedicated mother of 6 children, ages 29-11 years. Children are a gift and a joy! They all have different needs and personalities. I like to encourage children to do for themselves according to age appropriate, ability, & experience; if they have been shown how. If you can tell me a little about your child and their needs, I will do my best to accommodate. I also have experience with seniors and once again, for them to do for themselves according to health and ability, to maintain as much independence as appropriately possible. Mutual respect Communication, honesty is key and building trust Pay can be negotiable
