Hi! My name is Pam and I am semi-retired. I have an Etsy and TPT shop, so I am very flexible. I worked as a Community Manager Trainer for an Independent Senior Living for 6 years. When my children were small, I worked in childcare both as a teacher then Director. I also cared for my parents in their senior years. I have always had rescue pets. Currently, I have a soon to be 17 year old rescue who is doing great enjoying life! I look forward to meeting you and finding out how I can make your life simpler and worry free!

I can provide preschool age, daycare, housesitting, and pet sitting for families meeting, helping hand during the week or weekends. I also can provide light housekeeping, and some handyman abilities. I have a bachelors degree and a master in health sciences. I can help with tutoring school-age children in an afterschool setting. I know my way around the kitchen and would be available to assist in errands and shopping.

I am excited for any oppurtunity to nanny/take care of children! I am patient, engaging, kind, and optimistic. I am passionate about making sure that children feel cared for and that they're not just sitting around with someone who is only there to watch them. I am currently working towards my masters in clinical counseling at Charleston Southern University, and I know from study and experience that the early years of life are the most important. I am great with pets and am willing to help with them if needed.
