Hello! My name is Joyce! I have 4 years of volunteer experience in the children's ministry at church, of caring for infants through 13 years old. Additionally, I have a year of experience as a foster care support sitter. I am open to pet sitting, small sized dogs and cats, as well as light housekeeping and senior care. I have a reliable vehicle, and am a non-smoker. My schedule is flexible. I work 100% remote, and would prefer something part time/occassional. However, full time may work if it fits my schedule! Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss. I enjoy reading, traveling and learning new things! I am currently taking up sewing, and learning Spanish! I believe a child's gifts should be strengthened. I love to implement new activities, such as puzzles, reading books, arts & crafts, board games, cooking etc. Playing and learning are crucial for kids! I can pick up/drop off, take to the park etc. For seniors, I am willing to run errands, drop off to appointments, light housecleaning (dishes, vacuum, laundry).
“If I can give Joy six stars, I definitely would. She is extremely punctual and a great communicator. My kids instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m a stay at home mom and don’t really like people I don’t know watching my children, but starting with the interview me and my husband both felt very confident that she would do an amazing job. I love how she plays pretend when my children are being a little difficult and does activities with them. 100% recommend her.”
I was caregiver to Roberta Newton for two plus years.Renal failure and Cancer diagnosis. I am Patient and Understanding as well as empathetic. I have children of my own one of whom presently reside with me.. My mother died of Cancer also and not having the money me and my sister had to care for her until her passing. That was my first experience...three months until she left this place. Have had many dogs in my lifetime and know their habits and behaviors pretty well. Roberta required full live in care services so I got very knowledgeable of proper care and needs to be aware of as well as how to deescalate and or give space as needed... making sure all appointments were kept and medication picked up and administered accordingly. Hygiene upkeep, freshly made beds, washing linens regularly etc.
Hi! I’m Courtney, a dedicated, nurturing caregiver with over 18 years of hands-on experience working with children of alI ages! I have 16 years (and counting ) in the school district, 9 years in a school clinic, and 2 years in a daycare caring for newborns through age five. I’ve spent most of my life helping kids learn, grow, feel better, and feel safe—sometimes all in the same hour😂 I’m calm under pressure, great with routines, and genuinely enjoy the little quirks that make each child their own tiny universe. Whether it’s soothing a fussy baby, guiding a busy toddler, or supporting a school-age kid through homework and big feelings, I bring patience, humor, and reliability with me. If you’re looking for a caregiver who’s experienced, warm, and truly loves working with children, I’d love to be part of your family’s village.☺️
I have been babysitting and working with children, in general, for over 10yrs. I've taken care of infants, toddlers and older ones. I also have teaching experience, motherhood experience so my nurturing for children is wholesome. I have studied child laws, disability laws but most importantly, I look at children as gifts from above. I treasure every moment I spend with a child, be it my own child or another person's child. To me, it's not a job but a ministry.
