Hi I’m Roseanne but you can call me Rose. As a mother of grown children both out of the house, I truly miss the laughter, curiosity, and wonder along with memories that little ones bring into a home. Caring for babies and toddlers feels natural and meaningful to me — it’s a season of life I cherish deeply. I bring a warm, calm, attentive presence into the homes I work in. Safety, integrity, and emotional steadiness are very important to me. I believe children thrive in peaceful, predictable routines, and I’m happy to help create that — whether that means engaging play, reading time, gentle redirection, bedtime routines or simply being a steady presence during transitions. I’m also happy to support with light household tasks, pet care, and helping your home feel a little more manageable while you’re away. When I’m not caring for families, I enjoy spending time in nature, visiting museums, and being with friends and loved ones. I value balance, warmth, and meaningful connection — and I bring that same energy into the families I serve.
Hi, my name is Rose. I’m a trusted caregiver with a lifelong passion for supporting families. Over the past several years, I’ve provided care for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (yes, even twins!). I also have deep experience supporting children with special needs from assisting my daughter-in-law with her childcare facility and supporting a family with 2 neurodivergent children. Beyond that, I’ve spent many years caring for the children of family and friends, so nurturing and supporting little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, helping with homework, and ensuring they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Recently, I spent the past three years as the primary caregiver for my mother, which deepened my experience and compassion for senior care. I understand the importance of patience, dignity, and dependable support. I’m happy to assist with meal preparation, companionship, and day-to-day tasks. In addition to caregiving, I also offer household support, including doing laundry, light and deep cleaning, and running errands to help out. I’m known by family and friends as the one they call when they need help achieving a clean and organized space. I truly enjoy creating clean, tidy, and functional spaces. This stems from a childhood of supporting my father's janitorial service and owning my own home staging business. Looking forward to supporting you and your loved ones!

For any families looking for a nanny, sharing a recommendation for our nanny Laurel who has been caring for our twin girls who are 5 months old. Laurel has a ton of experience caring for children and was really great with our girls. She is extremely organized and on top of things which made communication very easy! She is very in tune on what milestones your baby is working towards and incorporates into their play time. Above all, I always felt at ease with our daughters under her care as she takes safety very seriously. She was a very calm and loving presence for our daughters and would highly recommend her to a family looking for child care.”
“Laurel is absolutely a GEM!! She jumped right into playing with our active, vehicle loving 2-year-old, and he absolutely adored her. It was our first time having anyone over to care for him that is not family and we were nervous, but Laurel put us at ease right away with her intuitive, gentle nature and deep care and engagement with our son. We are so grateful we found Laurel, she is one-of-a-kind a wonderful at being with children.”
