Hi there!! ?

I’m a very busy mama looking to add a little support to our village.

I have an amazing, caring 8 year old son, and while I absolutely love being his mom, I’m realizing I can’t pour from an empty cup. Between parenting, work, building my business, and trying to make space for a little self-care, I’m looking for someone dependable that we can build a long-term relationship with.

At this time, I’m mainly looking for occasional or as-needed care, someone I can call when I need a few hours to catch up on life, work on my business, attend appointments, run errands, or simply take a breather. Ideally, I’d love someone who can come to our home, but I’m also open to care in your home if it’s a safe, welcoming environment.

The biggest thing I’m looking for is someone warm, patient, trustworthy, and genuinely good with children. My son can be a little shy at first, so I’d love someone who understands how to build trust and connection rather than expecting kids to open up immediately.

A few things that are important to me:
• CPR/First Aid certification preferred
• Background check preferred
• Reliable transportation
• Comfortable around pets
• Patient, kind, and engaging
• Open to activities, games, reading, crafts, outdoor time, or light learning

More than anything, I’m hoping to find someone who feels like a safe and positive presence in our lives, someone my son looks forward to seeing and someone I can feel comfortable trusting when I need a little help.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to learn more about you, your experience, availability, rates, and whether you provide care in your home, a family’s home, or both.

Thank you so much for taking the time
