Grace’s Bio

I am a semi-retired (still young) preschool teacher now adding elder-care to my work. I have noticed that there is not a ton of difference when dealing with elderly & children; they both need and deserve love, respect, patience and kindness. I am also competent housekeeper,organizer and cook.I have a natural ability to motivate & inspire people. I have run women's support/friendship groups for over 20 years giving me a vast understanding of different personalities types and how to navigate them with grace & ease.

We hired Grace for a full day and she was great. Clearly loves children and is kind, dependable, and anything you need to feel good about leaving your LO for awhile. Highly recommend!

Grace is by far the best babysitter I have ever hired to take care of my toddler son. I was visiting Tucson and decided to give Sittecity a try because I needed childcare for my 16 month old son while I was attending a dinner function one evening and a and golf outing the next day. Thankfully, Grace responded to my post. After speaking with Grace for a few minutes on the phone, I know that she was the perfect person to care for my son. She is a very warm person with an upbeat personality that is perfect for being around children. My son took to her immediately and I felt comfortable leaving her to care for him. Since we were staying at a resort, Grace arrived early to ensure that she would have enough time to find parking and get to our room on time. She provided update texts and pics throughout the evening. She also watched my son the following day while we golfed. Again, she was AMAZING! Our golf round took longer than I expected but Grace didn't mind at all. She even offered to stay longer if we wanted to grab dinner. I highly recommend hiring Grace for any of your childcare needs. She is wonderful!!!!
