My name is Caroline and I am a retired teacher living in Lilburn (near Parkview high). I taught French at South Gwinnett. Two of my lifelong passions are caring for babies and learning/teaching foreign languages. During college, I worked at Creme de La Creme and also nannied for a wonderful family with a 1 year old and a 3 yr. old. It was very rewarding and I really felt like part of the family even though it was a short assignment because of college. After college and some graduate school, I pursued a teaching career for 14 years. My subjects were French and Spanish. Then I got up my courage and followed my dream to become a foster parent to infants. It was as though I won the lottery. Infants were brought to my door and I had the honor of caring for them for a couple of weeks or Read more even a couple of years depending on the case. It was amazing but I can't say it wasn't hard watching babies I loved go back to situations that I felt unsure about. Now, I would like to find a happy medium and care for children who are safe and loved and will remain that way. If I can add some teaching (be it starting a foreign language like French or Spanish, sign language with younger babies , even singing lullabies and teaching parts of the face, I can't help but add a mini lesson plan to the activities I plan for children). Teachable moments are everywhere, I find, and I like to remain truly engaged with the children I care for. I am extremely patient with babies and children, and animals.. As a foster parent to over 25 infants over 4 years I have a ton of experience with basic care from preemie - age 4, and of course infant CPR certification every 2 years. I tend to be an involved, silly, loving, and educationally based caregiver. References available. Full time or part time is fine, I prefer to live out but would consider a live-in position. I am perfectly comfortable with infant or toddler twins, so if you wanted to do a nanny share that's something we could talk about. I have a reliable Toyota Prius (and a lot of car seat experience as you can imagine. :) I hope to have the chance to speak with you soon and discuss your needs. I am a huge animal lover so pets are no problem. Thanks! Caroline Arick 404.863.42ate3:)cbbowles at aol

Horrible person. She told me she will work for me on Sunday and on Monday morning half an hour before I was supposed to leave the house she sent me text: " I tried Uber too, they have never taken this long on time estimate it's going to make you late I'm so sorry!" I called her maybe 20 times or more. She never said she is not coming. She ignored ALL of my phone calls and that was her last message sent to me. So here I am. sitting on the coach with my baby. I had to call in sick and it was a very important day for me. STAY AWAY!!!
