I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education and have over 25 years experience with kids. I have worked with children in a variety of capacities, including as a daycare teacher, after school teacher, Sunday school teacher, babysitter, nanny, and more. I have also worked with adults and children with disabilities, both intellectual and physical. I am capable of lifting and carrying as necessary. Helped with bathing, eating, cooking, cleaning, dressing, errands, etc. I also have taken care of the elderly and did the same with them.

I’m a reliable, calm, and caring caregiver with experience caring for children, seniors, pets, and helping with household tasks. I’m a mom myself and understand the importance of safety, structure, and patience, while also keeping things fun and engaging. I’ve helped with babysitting, school pickups, cleaning, errands, and companionship. I’m also comfortable supporting seniors with appointments, organization, and day-to-day assistance. I have years of experience in service and management roles, which has made me dependable, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. I’m very comfortable multitasking, following routines, and communicating clearly with families. I’m nurturing, responsible, and take pride in being someone families can truly trust.

Occasional and part-time babysitter based in Sarasota with experience caring for children ages 2 and above. Additional experience with part-time tutoring, babysitting multiple children, and pet care.

I grew up in NYC and have been living in a quaint river town on the Hudson north of the city since 2009. I have a Bachelor's in Communications from Boston College. Besides having raised 2 children of my own as a stay-at-home mom (I have a 12 yr old daughter and 19 yr old son in college), I also worked as an assistant teacher at a Montessori school for a year and a half in a combined classroom of 1st, 2nd and 3rd years (meaning 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders), and now I am working with Jovie in New York caretaking for children from ages 6 months to 4 years so far. I WILL BE RELOCATING TO SARASOTA IN LATE JUNE and am looking for employment with childcare, pets, and seniors. I have had pets all my life, both dogs and cats (I currently have a dog and cat). But, have had all sorts of animals that lived into their old age. I also was a caretaker for my mother at the end of her life. I love children, animals, music, art, gardening, exercise and the ocean (warmer climate!). I consider myself a very loyal caretaker. I'm also an artist, meditation teacher and master reiki healer.
