Meet Mercedes
- Speaks English
- Comfortable with pets
Hello my name is Mercedes. I am ideally looking to help you and your family by making life a little easier or more manageable for you. I enjoy cooking, know how to meal prep and am comfortable with light housework and laundry. I've looked after infants and toddlers much throughout my life. I just finished a 3.5 year fostering position that I absolutely loved. I get along well with most everyone from the infant baby to the mother or father to the grandmother and grandfather. I have a positive upbeat attitude. I enjoy taking walks, playing in and outdoors, singing and reading stories. I'm good with routine and schedules . I practice positive reinforcement. If it sounds like we might be a good match then please reach out.
