I’m a stayed home mother of two girls, 27 and 21 years old. I have a BA in English Literature and an MBA. I decided to stay home when they were very young and just worked part time when my girls were in school. I believe that teaching kids as much as you can are very important especially at young age since they learn so quickly and easily. I’ve been babysitting/nannying children from newborn to 10 years old for the last 9 years. I am CPR certified.

Are you looking for an occasional sitter? A summertime sitter? I’m a full time art teacher during the school year. I’m seeking occasional sitting positions and summer time sitting positions. Perhaps you need a date night or just need an occasional night out. I have CPR, first aid and epi pen training. I have raised my son who is 20 and a very mature young man. I also raised 2 step daughters who are now adults with children of their own. I had been a lifeguard when I was 16, of course all that training is expired, but I feel that those life experiences stay with you. I look forward to hearing from you. I am vaccinated for Covid-19

Mechee Cherine – Compassionate & Reliable Caregiver Specializing in Whole Family Support I am a hospitable, energetic, loving, and caring caregiver with 12 years of experience working with children of various ages in diverse settings, including primary and secondary schools, a high school boarding academy, summer camps, and birth and postpartum care. Throughout my career, I have served as a teacher’s aide, babysitter for my community, assistant dean, activities coordinator for a summer camp, and Girls’ Director for a summer camp. Currently, I work as a postpartum care specialist, providing families with the support they need during the crucial early weeks and months after birth. My passion extends beyond childcare—I focus on a whole-family approach where no one is left out. While I absolutely love working with children, I find true fulfillment in supporting parents, ensuring they feel empowered and cared for during their journey. I have extensive training as a childbirth educator, birth doula, health advocate, and mental health coach. In addition, I am currently pursuing certifications as a lactation consultant, newborn care specialist, perinatal nutrition educator, and maternal mental health care provider. My skills include meal preparation, laundry, running errands, school pick-up and drop-off, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and engaging hands-on activities. I am also CPR & First Aid certified, ensuring safety and preparedness in any situation. Outside of my work, I enjoy art, reading, traveling, cooking, writing, church activities, exploring the outdoors, learning, and trying out foods from different cultures. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and compassionate caregiver who understands the importance of nurturing both parents and children, feel free to reach out! I’d be happy to set up a call or provide references.

Here is a little bit about me. *Self-description* I am spunky, fun and dependable. I enjoy doing crafts and playing games. I also take joy in playgrounds, riding bikes, swimming, the library, and other fun things! I feel I would be a great companion for your child. *Additional information* I began an interest in caring for children when I was 13. I would babysit for families in the neighborhood. As I entered high school they had a day care in one of the wings. I began working there for credit. From that point on I have always had a job working with children *Challenges of position* I have been with one of my families for 10 years, and I find that as they get older the respect level and listening skills decrease a little bit. It makes it difficult for me implement the rules of the house, so I have to be creative in my methods. *Rewards of position* It is a good feeling knowing that I am an important part in a child's life. Being able to watch them grow and help them with life decisions means a great deal to me.

The majority of my education and career has been focused on learning and practicing effective ways of working with children. My first job in high school was being a teaching assistant for religious classes and then working at a daycare. I continued to explore careers with children working as a teaching assistant in public schools and as a tutor while studying in college. I received my master's degree in counseling psychology with a concentration in working with children and families. I was a mental health counselor for about 10 years and enjoyed the work that I did with children. In the last 5 years, I went back to tutoring, babysitting and working with developmentally disabled individuals to help them build social skills, emotion regulation skills and independent living skills. I have found that it is very important to build a trusting relationship with children and always to build off of their strengths. Children and individuals with disability thrive in a positive environment that has both structure and gives them some flexibility to make their own choices and explore their interests.
