Meet Heather
- Comfortable with pets
I am a kind and compassionate caregiver with experience with all ages (both professionally and family) I have been with children in one capacity or another for my entire life. I enjoy watching children learn and grow and seeing their innocent smiles when they figure things out. Very flexible with needs of child as well as making sure parents needs are reached as well. I believe communication and respect are key and necessary for a good caregiver, family relationship.
