Hi there families, I am a seasoned Early Childhood Teacher and am TRUSTLINE verified (this is a deeper background check than what they run here) happy to give you my ID# upon request. I have worked with young children (infant to 12 years of age) in a variety of settings for over 25 years: preschool teacher, nanny, camp-counselor, dramatic-arts coach, classroom volunteer and mother. I am a self-starter with high energy. My extensive experience and maturity bring both wisdom and calm while still embodying youth and vitality. I have been told that I float seamlessly among all age groups and have been referred to as a “Yoga-Mary Poppins”. I have a BA with emphasis in psychology, an AA in Early Childhood Education, CPR/First-Aid certifications and a vast understanding of children with different learning styles. I have a working knowledge of different ECE modalities: Reggio, Waldorf, Montessori, Play-based and RIE. I Read more believe children learn best and THRIVE when all their needs (social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative) are being addressed and met. I am dedicated to the well-being of children and have strong competency in creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, seen, respected and excited. I know how to set boundaries (while still validating child's feelings), anticipate meltdowns and redirect with ease. My intention when working with babies and children is to focus on engaging them in active educational play that supports their developmental milestones. I enjoy “play with a purpose” whether it’s park days, interactive games, nature outings, library story-times, crafts or science projects; your baby/child will be learning and nurtured when they are with me!

Grace was our nanny 3 full days a week for about a year. She was fantastic! So many good things to say. First and foremost, I never felt nervous leaving my little one in her care while we were at work. I knew she was in good, capable, and loving hands. She took great care of our tot, including meal prep and serving, supporting our sleeping preferences, bringing fun new toys and crafts, taking her out to the park and the library, and lots of outdoor time. She was always teaching her new songs, rhymes, games, and developmental skills without us prompting her at all. The only reason she's no longer our nanny is because she moved away! Grace was reliable, prompt, communicative, and just pleasant to be around for both my husband and I and our little one. She was willing to help out with household chores, cooking on request, pet care, and laundry. She is a gem and we still miss her dearly!

We hired Grace for a full day and she was great. Clearly loves children and is kind, dependable, and anything you need to feel good about leaving your LO for awhile. Highly recommend!

Grace is by far the best babysitter I have ever hired to take care of my toddler son. I was visiting Tucson and decided to give Sittecity a try because I needed childcare for my 16 month old son while I was attending a dinner function one evening and a and golf outing the next day. Thankfully, Grace responded to my post. After speaking with Grace for a few minutes on the phone, I know that she was the perfect person to care for my son. She is a very warm person with an upbeat personality that is perfect for being around children. My son took to her immediately and I felt comfortable leaving her to care for him. Since we were staying at a resort, Grace arrived early to ensure that she would have enough time to find parking and get to our room on time. She provided update texts and pics throughout the evening. She also watched my son the following day while we golfed. Again, she was AMAZING! Our golf round took longer than I expected but Grace didn't mind at all. She even offered to stay longer if we wanted to grab dinner. I highly recommend hiring Grace for any of your childcare needs. She is wonderful!!!!
