My life experience has always been involved in children, pets and their care. I've loved taking care of children and animals all my life. I previously held a Michigan Day care license and provided in home childcare. I have also had many different pets. Mainly dogs and cats however I've also had birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. I have always enjoyed children of all ages. During the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic I lost my job. I was employed there for 40 years. I am now seeking a more enjoyable way to add to my retirement. I know that working families often times need help before and after school for their children. I can help you. I provided my in home child care while I worked part time in a manufacturing setting. I know life can be very busy balancing work and family. I can send your child/children off to school or be there after until you can get home from work. I am also an animal lover and have no problem with pets and pet care. Does your dog need a walk? I can help there too. I can perform other pet care as needed so you don't have to. Please contact me if you are interested in my child and or pet care services.

I have a genuine love for children and value being part of the "village" that helps nurture them into confident, kind and capable young people. Coming from a family of educators, I've naturally developed a patient and supportive approach. While I am new to professional childcare, I have hands-on experience babysitting family & family friends and find enjoyment in creating fun, creative and engaging activities. I also am comfortable and experienced changing diapers and preparing meals. I would love the opportunity to support a family in need of reliable, caring part-time childcare.
