$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a mom of three with over ten years of experience in childcare, caregiving, senior support, pet care, and household assistance. I previously owned and operated an in-home daycare, where I cared for children from infancy through school age, including children with developmental delays and sensory sensitivities. I focus on creating calm routines, engaging activities, and a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and understood. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, sensory activities, and helping with homework or early learning. I’m comfortable preparing meals, maintaining schedules, and supporting busy family routines. In addition to my professional childcare experience, I bring extensive hands-on experience supporting children ages 0–12 with autism and developmental delays, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and understanding of individualized care. I’m currently pursuing a dual licensure degree in Special and Elementary Education, further supporting my passion for inclusive, people-centered care. I’ve also worked as a caregiver in a group home supporting men and women over age 50 with developmental and physical disabilities. My experience includes personal care, meals, medication reminders, companionship, and supervised community outings. I value dignity, consistency, and meaningful connection in senior care. I’m very comfortable with pets and household environments. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, have experience with fish and birds, and currently care for a bearded dragon. I’m comfortable with large pets, shedding animals, and following specific care instructions, and I’m open to learning care routines for other pets. I also provide light household support including cleaning, laundry, dishes, simple meal prep, errands, and organization, and can bring basic cleaning supplies if needed.
