Meet Joy

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I love to help busy families, play with kids and make learning fun! I feel children should be encouraged, supported and commended and always endeavor to reinforce YOUR family values and rules. I'm very patient, but can be firm when necessary and resolve conflicts through communication. I have had the privilege of caring for newborns, infants, toddlers and schooled children all at the same time.  I have 20 years paid experience as a nanny and excellent references. My days/hours are flexible, although I require them to be consistent unless advance notice is given. I am looking for a permanent, long-term child care position.   I am a mature mother of one independant college student.  It brings me personal satisfaction and a true feeling of accomplishment when I can generate laughter in children and create an environment in which they feel loved and secure! Although not working in the legal field at this time, Read more I am a certified paralegal and also own/operate a private tutoring business for years.  I volunteer for the Mooresville Graded School District and was a substitute teacher there, as well.  I consistently pass all back ground checks and drug screenings required to work with children and within the public school systems. This also makes me a good choice for your virtual learning facilitator! I have a good driving record and own a dependable car. I'm a non-smoker and live an active, healthy lifestyle. Imagine what it could be like to go to work and know that your child(ren) is (are) in good hands.  When you can actually spend quality time during your evenings and weekends with your family because you have someone to get all those little things taken care of before your work day comes to an end. It's not too good to be true.  And the best part is, I love my job and am just an email away!

Joy is the perfect sitter for both parents and pets. She is fun and playful and constantly interacts with the "children". As a parent, I have complete confidence that the kids are safe, having fun and the house will still be in great condition upon our return! Joy has control of the situation so we can enjoy our time away!

When I tell my children Joy is coming to take care of them, they light up. Each of my three children have a special connection with Joy. She knows and cares for their individual needs to perfection. My oldest son has special needs. Joy is never thrown by his behavior. She shows him love and understanding. I am spoiled because I never have to worry about a thing when she's with my children. Isn't that what all parents want...peace of mind that our children are safe and loved. Joy is a gift to my family, actually she is part of our family.

Joy is honestly a godsend! Our kids love her. She is always so cheerful and willing to do whatever the kids feel like. Joy stays calm under pressure and we feel she could handle an emergency if something did happen. She works 100% of the time when she's on the clock. No cell phone attachments, which is very hard to come by these days. Joy is a mature woman. Only age and experience give us that kind of peace of mind. And our house always seems cleaner than before we left!
