I am a mother to a 13 year old boy, and a 10 year old girl, and I have watched several children in my home over the past few years, when my kids were younger. I am choosing a lifestyle and work schedule that allows me to maximize my time with my own children, and watching other children during the day, occasional eve or weekend has worked very well. I am comfortable with infants, food allergies, behavioral challenges, potty training, and tantrums of all kinds. I am a loving, easy going and respectful caregiver, with good boundaries and clear communication. I use positive discipline as emotional education, and always see the benefit of empathy and respect while working with children. I am self employed as an elder massage therapist, which I have done for 22 years, and I love to watch children part time, in addition to my private practice. Read more I have years of experience, great references from local families, and am CPR certified.
