I love caring for children and helping them become kind, honest, and healthy individuals. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have worked with children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, wheelchair users, non-verbal communication, and bathroom assistance. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed care for children. During my work at domestic violence shelters, I helped them process their changes in environment and other major life adjustments. I will tidy up and perform some light housework. You will always come home to a calm, clean environment, so all you will need to do is relax.

Jade did a wonderful job managing my two girls! She’s interactive and very fun, and kept them engaged with arts, crafts, and fun games. Trustworthy, safe, and reliable, I don’t find myself worrying about my daughters all the time whenever I leave the house and they’re in Jade’s care. Even with those two on her hands, she found time to clean and leave my kitchen spotless. No crumbs or 4-year-old fingerprints in sight lol!

Jade does a great job of keeping my kiddo entertained and safe. He confides in her and always comes away talking about games they play together.
