I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for many years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii as well. I moved to Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, in '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.
