I am an experienced and dedicated caregiver with nearly 3 years of experience caring for a family of 4 children, from 2.5, 5 , 8 and 10 years old. I began caring for the three older children and later took on full responsibility for the youngest as well, this gave me a lot of experience amnaging 4 different kids so different from each other and full of energy. My daily responsibilities include, pick up the kids, prepare the snack and meal, organizing the kids laundry and folding the clothes, homework, and guarantee the schedule is going to work. I am patient, reliable, and experienced in juggling the needs of multiple children simultaneously, I like to plan playdates, go to the park, do arts and crafts, or go to the library. My main go is make sure the kids are safe, having fun and helping them to be undependabler.
I love being a grandmother and taking care of my grandkids. I love doing arts and crafts with my kids. It makes me happy to see them creating and thriving in this way.
I had working with wonderful family taking care of their little one with love , care .
