With 25 years of paid experience, I just love infants- newborns are my specialty! I have a nurturing personality which allows me to bond quickly with children. I provide occasional sitting services as well as regular weekly care. In the past 15 years, I have cared for at least 22 infants and toddlers from about 10 families through Sittercity and another popular care site- with 5 star reviews. Four of these families had a set of newborn twins when care began. My experience with multiples also includes caring for 2 sets of toddler twins. My experience with children ranges from 2 days old (fresh from the hospital) to toddler. My care involves getting down on the floor and really interacting with children, helping them to reach their milestones. Because I am amazed at seeing a child’s growth during the first years, I prefer to begin care during the newborn stage. Read more I really enjoy working with families with small children, assisting in whatever capacity I can.

Tonisha was amazing with my twins. She is always on time, and would let me know when she had extra days. She is kind, patient, sweet,and playful with my kids. We are continuing to use her as our go-to weekend babysitter now that our new baby is here(she was a mother's aide for my twins during the last few weeks of pregnancy with the new baby). Wonderful person and babysitter!
