Hello! I am an experienced care giver on many levels! Not only have I taken care of my nieces and nephews since birth (now teenagers!), but also the children of many friends. I am a long time pet Mom to dogs, cats, and hamsters. Additionally I am a certified EMT since 2008. Also, I am a little bit of a "clean freak." As busy as life can be, I understand the importance and comfort of a clean home, and I am more than happy to do that for you as well!
