I am an experienced care provider. I have experience working with infants as a nanny, working in a preschool and experience working with school age children for over 10 years. I am a mother, gymnastics coach, a care provider. I attend Trinity Washington University to study AA Early Childhood Development. I am CPR/AED/First Aid and MAT trained. I love working with children of all ages so that is why I am looking to care for anyone in need.

Our first few emails with Mercedes was great, she sent me some of her credentials, and I let her know about our needs. However, I did notice that she lived about 36-40 minutes away from my family and I (on a good day). I kindly let her know that because of the distance being a bit much we wouldn't want her to drive that far, and would keep her for back up care. Her response: "No need you blew it off before asking me if the distance was ok with me and to be honest I don't want to work with a family who can dictate my ability without asking. I hope that you find what you need." A simple, thanks for your time or thanks for the consideration would've definitely been better. If you're trying to be apart of a family's home life, keep it professional. We're happy we missed out on that bullet.
