I have always enjoyed being around children of all ages. I am a former preschool teacher, private tutor for all middle school and most high school subjects and I currently coach 2 softball and 2 basketball teams throughout the school year and summer months. I managed a water park for 15 years and currently manage a residential pool, part-time nanny for two families and teach private hitting lessons. I am interested in making an impact on children and families in a variety of ways. I want to teach and encourage learning of children and find new and interesting ways of reaching out. I want children to have the opportunity to explore and make choices in a safe environment. If I can support a family in any way, I hope to do so. I am the oldest of 5 siblings and helped care for each one based on their needs. I Read more have 2 younger brothers and 2 younger sisters. My parents divorced when I was very young and I took the role of a babysitter early on in life. I loved keeping my siblings active, teaching my brother how to read and sister how to ride a bike. We keep in touch fairly consistently and are always there to support each other in any way we are able. I love meeting new people and finding ways to help others.

Jamie regularly watches my children one weekday evening each week for the past few months, and occasionally on a date night. She has been extremely reliable and dependable, and my children truly enjoy her. She has been one of my boys' favorite sitters, and she does such a wonderful job with them. Both of my boys have ADHD and my oldest is autistic with diabetes. Jamie is very patient and caring with my boys. Jamie is a top-notch sitter and I would move fast to hire her before someone else does.
