I studied fine arts in Philadelphia, then went on to get my master's degree in creative arts therapy. I worked as either a recreation therapist or art therapist for 8 years. Once we started our family, I quickly realized that I wanted to be a stay-at-home mother for our 4 children. As my children were getting older, I began to babysit. I have worked with newborns through elementary school-aged children in New Jersey. My family recently moved to Oklahoma as our youngest child started college this fall. My husband retired from law enforcement this year, so we decided to begin our next chapter in life out west. We loved Oklahoma and the people there when our oldest son attended the University of Oklahoma. I have been responsible for feedings, diaper changing, putting children down for naps, toilet training, driving children to and from school and activities, playtime and sick care. Read more I also have helped out with light housework, laundry and light meal prep. I loved being a stay-at-home mother for my 4 children and want to pass that along to another family. My focus is creating a safe, caring and fun environment where children can play, grow and learn. I love spending time with my family, going for walks, hiking, drawing, word searches and creating moss art.

Heather watched my daughter when I went back to work. At the time, my little one was 11 months old. Heather became a second mother to my daughter. Being a first time mom, she even helped me. Heather was always flexible and reliable! She supported us when we asked her to write things down about our daughter’s day and taught her many things. Heather spent 3 years with us, but created a lasting bond!

We loved having Heather care for our children (then ages 10, 6 and 3). She was patient, engaging and positive with each of them. She was able to balance the needs of a toddler while keeping our older two entertained and supportive. She handled routine smoothly, communicated proactively, and we had complete trust in her. My kids adored her and always felt safe and cared for. We would gladly have her back anytime and highly recommend her to any family looking for a dependable and thoughtful babysitter.
