Meet Carrie

I started babysitting the local neighborhood kids when I was 13. After high school I worked with a nanny agency and ran a little daycare at the American Red Cross until I had my own children. I've worked in group homes as a caregiver to adolescence and adults with developmental challenges. My children are all mostly grown and I'm currently finishing my Bachelors Degree in Social Science. I have a current CPR/first aide certification. Trained in OSI and med passing procedures. I have experience as a homework tutor and have taught music lessons for piano and flute.
