Meet Joanne

  • Registered Nurse

I'm a registered nurse, but spend 3 days a week nannying a 10-month old. I took care of her older sister from 21 months to 2 1/2. I do a couple nursing shifts, but I work with healthy people having elective procedures, so no worries for passing illnesses. I'm fun and interactive. I'm patient and kind, and like to be silly. I love to find creative things to do to keep children busy. Arts, crafts, nature, walking, exercise, music, reading, and playing games. I don't mind cooking or cleaning up or helping them with whatever they need to get done. You just let me know your rules and what you preferences are, and I'll stick to that. I am certified in basic, and advanced adult and pediatric life support (hoping to never need it while babysitting). I'm health conscious and safety minded. I have five grown children and three grandchildren, Read more and plenty of friends and extended family who have used me to babysit or have allowed their children to spend time with me. In the past, I have worked as a housekeeper for hotel, private homes, and property management services. My nursing specialty also requires extensive knowledge about disinfection and appropriate cleaning techniques. So if it’s household cleaning you’re looking for, I’m exceptionally skilled. I am happy to cook or prepare meals, sort and organize, assists with laundry, run errands, or whatever task you may need assistance with. I’m very flexible. Pets are not a problem; I have first hand experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more.
