I am a Graduate student at Gonzaga University. I play on the Division 1 Women’s Golf Team. I love working with children. I volunteer for First Tee to shape young minds in an outdoor setting. Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for as a caregiver. I have 2-3 year of experience caring for children aged newborn to teenagers. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. My graduate coursework has helped me better understand child development. I am patient, creative, friendly, and enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and puzzles. I communicate with parents at pickup, and send regular updates via text or phone call, depending on your preference. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am CPR and First Aid trained. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
Hello families, I’m very glad to meet you. The first thing you should know about me is that I am a Christian and I love Jesus with all of my heart! The second thing you should know about me is that I love children of all ages. The third thing you should know about me is that I am a wife and mother. The fourth thing you should know about me is that I’ve been taking care of children since I was a teenager. I have been a preschool teacher and a homeschooling mom. My boys will be graduating from high school next Saturday. My husband and I have been married for 26 1/2 years. I’m looking forward to getting to know your families and playing with your children. PS. I enjoy being with children because they make me laugh and smile. I see all children as a gift from God who are designed to be loved, cherished and enjoyed.
Since I was 11 years old, people have always told me that I'm great with children! I have had several jobs working with children ages 2 months to teens. I've worked with kids who have had special needs and also managed a kids salon for 8 years! I'm kind, patient and just absolutely adore kids!! Im respectful and loyal! I have 3 kids myself ages 18, 17 and 6 yrs old. My 6 year old is developmentally delayed, so I also understand children who are sometimes challenged as well. I'm a good communicator, and feel that it's a very important part of everyday life. I love to be silly and have fun as well! My favorite things to do with kids is arts and crafts, and making things from scratch!
