Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a passion for helping others. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children, who are now between the ages of 19 and 42, and a loving grandmother. My experience raising a large family has taught me compassion, responsibility, organization, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to my personal caregiving experience, I have worked as a teacher’s aide supporting children with special needs, where I developed strong communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with more families. I enjoy helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and providing attentive, respectful care. Families describe me as trustworthy, calm, reliable, and compassionate. My goal is to make your loved one feel comfortable, valued, and cared for while giving your family peace of mind.

Cheryl was a FANTASTIC caregiver for my (then) 4 year-old child. We’ve since moved from the area, but my child STILL asks for Cheryl all of the time! Cheryl is the mother of adult children so she’s well-versed on kids of all ages, and needs. She knows how to create a safe, yet fun environment for kids. She’s a true childcare gem; compassionate, loving, empathetic, and so knowledgeable about all different aspects of childcare! Your kid(s) will absolutely adore Cheryl, and so will you!!! Bonus points because not only is Cheryl great with kids, she’s ALSO absolutely wonderful with pets!! - she happily took care of our dog while caring for our kiddo!
