I’m a stayed home mother of two girls, 27 and 21 years old. I have a BA in English Literature and an MBA. I decided to stay home when they were very young and just worked part time when my girls were in school. I believe that teaching kids as much as you can are very important especially at young age since they learn so quickly and easily. I’ve been babysitting/nannying children from newborn to 10 years old for the last 9 years. I am CPR certified.

Are you looking for an occasional sitter? A summertime sitter? I’m a full time art teacher during the school year. I’m seeking occasional sitting positions and summer time sitting positions. Perhaps you need a date night or just need an occasional night out. I have CPR, first aid and epi pen training. I have raised my son who is 20 and a very mature young man. I also raised 2 step daughters who are now adults with children of their own. I had been a lifeguard when I was 16, of course all that training is expired, but I feel that those life experiences stay with you. I look forward to hearing from you. I am vaccinated for Covid-19

Mechee Cherine – Compassionate & Reliable Caregiver Specializing in Whole Family Support I am a hospitable, energetic, loving, and caring caregiver with 12 years of experience working with children of various ages in diverse settings, including primary and secondary schools, a high school boarding academy, summer camps, and birth and postpartum care. Throughout my career, I have served as a teacher’s aide, babysitter for my community, assistant dean, activities coordinator for a summer camp, and Girls’ Director for a summer camp.

Here is a little bit about me. *Self-description* I am spunky, fun and dependable. I enjoy doing crafts and playing games. I also take joy in playgrounds, riding bikes, swimming, the library, and other fun things! I feel I would be a great companion for your child. *Additional information* I began an interest in caring for children when I was 13. I would babysit for families in the neighborhood. As I entered high school they had a day care in one of the wings. I began working there for credit. From that point on I have always had a job working with children *Challenges of position* I have been with one of my families for 10 years, and I find that as they get older the respect level and listening skills decrease a little bit. It makes it difficult for me implement the rules of the house, so I have to be creative in my methods. *Rewards of position* It is a good feeling knowing that I am an important part in a child's life. Being able to watch them grow and help them with life decisions means a great deal to me.
