Chioma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Chioma and I'm a QPH Evaluator at Medicaid. I am offering child care, senior care, some pet care (minimal experience with this but open to learning) and household services. My entire career has been devoted to providing care to people in different areas of their lives whether it be through healthcare, companionship or offering resources for people to feel cared and loved. I love being a caregiver and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 19 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring etc. I have 4 years of experience working at schools as a childcare supervisor and after care attendant, so trust me when I say your kids are safe with me :) I also work as a Certified Nursing Assistant so I have the skillset of helping clients with ADLs which include household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandmother and am very comfortable with senior care being a CNA. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am happy to work with families with dogs and cats.
