Hi! My name is Tracy! I would like to introduce myself to you. First and most importantly, I am the mother of two wonderful college age children and have a wonderful husband. I am also currently an elementary teacher! I love my job and love working with children! I have a lot of patience and always have a positive attitude. Prior to teaching I worked at a daycare/preschool. I also babysat two infants daily in my home and watched them as they grew into toddlers. I am CPR and first aid certified as well. I also love interacting and helping seniors! I have helped and enjoy talking with seniors in my own family as well as neighbors. I love to care for seniors because they have lived such a long life and deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Seniors are a great treasure with so much left to share! Another thing I love is dogs! I have two of my own currently. They bring so much joy! Thank you for your time!
“I hired Tracy for a senior sitting job to provide companionship to my mother in an assisted living facility 300 miles away from me. The bond they developed, the support Tracy provided to my mother, and the comfort she provided me exceeded all expectations. My mother received both social and mental stimulation, fresh air, periodic therapy, and a new friendship. Tracy also did several small tasks and brought occasional treats upon my request. She is responsible, thoughtful, compassionate, and kind. She truly is an angel!”

Here to lighten your day-to-day load as an added extension of your family. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I enjoy being a nanny knowing that I am helping foster environments and routines for families. Building connections with guardians and children that last past the job bring me a sense of joy. I've been fortunate to be able to build trust and provide quality care as professional nanny for more than 5 years. Although I've cared for children from infant to teen, my care of focus has centered around children under 2-years old. I'm versed in infant care; helping to create and incorporate consistent routines for sleep, feeding, changing, and development. Children thrive in my care because of my patience, attentiveness, and firm, but gentle boundaries. I create opportunities for little/big personalities to blossom with a sense of curiosity, confidence, and independence. Basic care needs pertaining to child(ren) are provided in a safe and proactive manner. Spaces used are maintained. All activites are incorporated and encouraged from educational activities, storytime, sensory play, arts & crafts, games, imaginative play, outdoor fun, and homework help. I'm allergic to cats. I look forward to collaborating working with your family! References available at request.
