Hello Mom's & Dad's! My name is Mercedes, and I am a mom of 3 beautiful & amazing girl's. My oldest is attending St. Cloud State for her nursing degree. I also have my 10 & 12 year olds. I not only have the child care experience, by raising my own children, but have much experience with newborns and up. I have been at for a long time. I have experience working with children of disabilities, autism, hearing lost and sensory issues. I am a very nurturing, fun loving, caring person, who has a lot more love to still give other children. I nanny because I love newborns, toddlers and up, I love watching them grow up and my reward is simply knowing I had a part I in that. I would consider myself a very laid back, fun loving and easy going person,. I love spending time with my Read more family & friends. And in my spare time I love adult coloring,watching movies and due to the Coronavirus, I have picked up Diamond Paintings as a new hobby! Gotta love Civid! LOL I love cooking & my Coffee! I consider myself a very reliable, clean, tidy and very organized person. I am very big on communication between my families that I care for and ask for the same in return. I have been vaccinated for the Covid-19 and CPR & First Aid Certified. When families leave their children in my care, I want them walking away with a peace of mind, knowing there kids are safe, loved and protected and well taken care of! I have found it´s a huge relief of pressure & comfort that´s been lifted from parent''s shoulders, knowing that! And me knowing I can provide that alone, makes me very happy, And when others children are left in my care, I treat them as though they were my own. Am a Mama Bear with a Big Caring, & Loving Heart! So if I have missed mentioning something, please reach out. Am happy to answer any questions you may have. I truly look forward to hearing from you, as well as maybe being able to care for your children! :)
