I love to have fun and be really silly! I have 3 adult children. Well 4 when you count my daughter-in-law. Who I consider as my second daughter! I am a grandma of identical twin girls! My little beauties! They are all the lights of my life! We are all very close and I’m very proud of all of them! I am a widow so my time is my own. I love children of all ages. I enjoy pets as well. I have a little pug named Frankie and a kitty named Bowdie. I’ve worked at daycares for years and thought I might try doing in home daycare. So took care of a family of five for over a year till they didn’t need me. Now I’m with a family of five again but only babysit 18 hours a week. I’m available Monday thru Thursday 9-3 and weekends. I’m up for anything anytime! I love to do whatever the children enjoy. After all it’s all their time. I don’t spend time on my phone or watch tv. I may have the tv on once in a while for a special movie or children’s program. I do however like to have music playing at times that we can dance to and just go a little crazy! I do like to know if you have specific activities you would like me to do and what your expectations would be. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your most precious possessions!! I will care for them as I would my own children. With much love!! Thx! Blessings! Also I love animals, all kinds. Also have had a background check done on this cite.

I recently had my first child and have decided it’s time to transition into a job that he can be with me. Some background of my experience: After my senior year of high school, I nannied for my moms' coworker. She has 3 children, 2 boys 1 girl. The oldest was 9, the middle was 5 and the youngest was 1. When COVID started and shut down my college I nannied for her again due to her daycare provider shutting down. I also grew up helping my grandma in the daycare she owned. I hold a CNA license, but am taking a break from healthcare. I have a bachelors in child development. I encourage more play than screen time and when weather permits love being outside. I will ensure the safety of your child/children. I also ensure they have fun while I am with them.

I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education, and caring for kids has always been second nature to me. My background includes everything from infant care to helping with homework and planning fun, developmentally appropriate activities.
