It’s a passion that I enjoy. I love children. I love helping families. I am also the employee of record for my mother, so I hire people to attend to her medical needs Monday through Friday and sometimes the weekend I was her care aid, but I continuously want to stay in the field of working with the children, so that’s why I moved up to her employee of record. I have references to back my word up. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am a mother of three. I am a wife and a woman of God.

I love being a sitter because caring for kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun is something I’m genuinely passionate about.

Along with keeping things tidy, I make sure to leave the home just as clean (or cleaner!) than when I arrived.
