I grew up in a family of 9 kids. My mother also owned a daycare and had a masters degree in special education. I had a great example to learn from! :) I have two children of my own. Both in College! I love to be a support to families who need occasional or part time help with busy schedules these days. This helps me as I continue to grow my health and wellness business and further my education in environmental and health science. I believe in supporting the talents and joys of each child! Mutual respect and healthy boundaries are essential in any interaction and fosters a soul to thrive!
“Julie was amazing with our 6 year old son, she kept him entertained, engaged, and away from screens. He had plenty of outdoor time and was exhausted at the end of the day. ”
I have 15+ years of childcare experience with kids of all ages, from babies through teenagers, and I’m also a former foster parent. I’m CPR certified, dependable, patient, and comfortable jumping into whatever routine works best for your family. I love keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, or just hanging out and having fun together. I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and am happy to help with pets while I’m there. Most importantly, I want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and parents to feel confident knowing their kids are in good hands. Hobbies include music, hiking, crafts, hanging with my dog, reading, and trying to pay off some recent medical bills ;)
I am a parent of 2 adult girls. I have fostered multiple regular and therapeutic foster children. During my care my husband and I decided to adopt one. I also have a warm and calm personality for children. I had training in mediation and dispute settlement and family counseling. Most of my adult life I’ve worked in Pediatric Care in a hospital or clinical settings. Even at my church I like teaching and working with children and the elderly. My field of study is a Bachelor’s of Business Administration, Management and a Master’s in Health Administration. My heart is centered around the advocacy of children and the elderly.
Hi! My name is Yanelly, and I have over 4 years of experience caring for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I’m currently an Infant Teacher and truly love working with little ones and watching them grow. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and SIDS certified, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m patient, dependable, and nurturing, and I strive to create a fun, safe, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every child as if they were my own and enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with families.
