Meet Pamela

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

My name is Pam I am a 44 year old grandmother and mother of two daughters. I started babysitting at a very young age and helped in the care of my two younger brothers. I have raised two daughters of my own whom I am proud to say are very ambitious young ladies diligently seeking to further their education. As an adult I have provided care for the children of many of my friends as well as the children in the nursery of my church on an as needed basis. All together I have about 33 years experience in caring for children. Since September of 2013 I started caring full time for my youngest grandson when he was born and decided at the beginning of 2014 to open my home to other families that are looking for a good, safe day home. Being a grandmother has been one of the Read more greatest joys that I have experienced in life thus far. I was fortunate as a single mother to have my own mother live with us and didn't have to place my own children in daycare, I am looking to give other parents that same peace of mind. I do not feel that children should spend a lot of time in front of a television, rather spending their day learning and exploring the great worlds of their imaginations. My home is set up entirely to afford children this opportunity, I have a large area that is dedicated to play, learning and exploring. I am CPR certified, First Aid trained, have a clean criminal background and great driving record. Our home is also a non-smoking/drinking household. I am willing to provide care day, night and overnight. If you are looking for a loving, nurturing and educational home environment for your little one, my home is your child's home. Your child will also receive nutritious meals and snacks while in my care. I would love to speak with you more about your needs as a parent and the individual needs of your child.

When I searched for child care I was looking for someone who would care for my children as I would. Having bad past experiences with other providers I was very skeptical until I met Pamela. Pamela goes above and beyond to accommodate my children they absolutely love her like they would love family. She taught them alot of new words as well as potty training. I am by far the most paranoid type of mother there is and yet with her I get a sense of comfort and ease. She is by far the best babysitter I had ever encountered and I wouldn't trade her for anyone else. To not hire her would be a fault of your own.

As soon as I read Pam's application I automatically knew she was the one for my family. She is the most caring & trustworthy sitter I have found in years. She treats my daughters as a part of her family & she has became a part of ours. I am worry free & it makes my day go by so much easier. The girls absolutely love her & feel so comfortable in her care. Thank you Pam for being such an amazing sitter! -Erika T.
