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.

Grace was our nanny 3 full days a week for about a year.
She was fantastic! So many good things to say. First and foremost, I never felt nervous leaving my little one in her care while we were at work. I knew she was in good, capable, and loving hands. She took great care of our tot, including meal prep and serving, supporting our sleeping preferences, bringing fun new toys and crafts, taking her out to the park and the library, and lots of outdoor time. She was always teaching her new songs, rhymes, games, and developmental skills without us prompting her at all. The only reason she's no longer our nanny is because she moved away!
Grace was reliable, prompt, communicative, and just pleasant to be around for both my husband and I and our little one.
She was willing to help out with household chores, cooking on request, pet care, and laundry. She is a gem and we still miss her dearly!
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!!!!
