I have been taking care of children and seniors for 30 years and honestly brings me joy to be able to help others as well as taking care of pets which I absolutely love animals. I have been told by a lot of people that I have a kind heart and that I will go out of my way to help those that need it the most and I know how important it is to provide good care and have the patience that is needed and just to know that I've made that small difference in somebody's life. I also love doing various activities no matter what age group as well as cooking and cleaning and spending that quality time getting to know the families. I also have a lot of experience with dementia and Alzheimer's as well as some medical experience. I look forward to meeting new people

Hey hey! I am a current college student, with a future in teaching. My experience with kids is primarily casual (non-professional), as I have babysat for my friends, coworkers, and neighbours— and spent some time in my church’s toddler nursery on Sundays. Professionally, I work customer facing jobs (server, barista, cashier), so families are commonly around me. Also, I was a teacher at the Boys and Girls Club (3rd grade). Babysitting is as serious and impactful as being a nanny or au pair. It is less time on a schedule, or less responsibilities around the house, but the children are still influenced. Being on the same page with the parents is, obviously, important; translating the parent’s rules to maintain the fun environment created for the children is equally important. People joke that toddlers/kids and Seniors are very similar. In a funny way, yes. In a serious way, also yes. Patience, fostering independence, maintaining schedules. Oh, and, listening to stories. Everyone has stories! If you’d like me to expand on anything from above, please reach out.

Hi! I’m a reliable, nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience raising three children of my own, along with professional nannying experience. Most recently, I cared for an 11-month-old, supporting daily routines, feeding, naps, and developmental play. I’m patient, attentive, and very in tune with children’s emotional and physical needs. I love creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel supported. I’m comfortable with infants through older children, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and maintaining routines. My background in psychology also helps me understand behavior, communication, and emotional development, which I bring into my caregiving style. I genuinely enjoy building connections with both kids and parents, and I strive to be someone families can trust and rely on.

I have experience as a substitute teacher from pre-K through middle school, along with informal caregiving for children ranging from infants to preteens. I’m calm, reliable, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and engaged. I enjoy storytelling, crafts, reading, and meaningful conversation across all ages. I’m looking to build a consistent, professional relationship with a family that values clear communication, mutual respect, and trust.
