For families seeking a nurturing and experienced caregiver, I offer 30+ years of dedicated childcare. I understand that you need support you can trust in caring for your most precious gifts. My calm, caring, and creative approach helps me create a positive and enriching environment for your children. I hold a graduate degree in education and am First Aid and CPR certified. I follow your preferred communication method to keep you informed about your child's day. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and follow your lead by learning and replicating your preferred approach. I enjoy games that engage children mentally and physically, however, when caring for children, I lean toward their interests and/or guardians' preferences. I'm happy to assist with light cooking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. You will find me to be an honest, valuable, dependable, and communicative asset for your family.

I have had the delight of working with Ms. Ardener. She is absolutely wonderful and my son is in awe of her. I have used Ms. Ardener's services for a few years now and she never disappoints. With her nanny services she has assisted with teaching my son to become more self efficient and consistent with chores. Tutoring him in subjects that he was struggling with over the school year and even helped prepare him for the following year. I swear, one of my son's favorite things about summer break is getting to be with Ms. Ardener.

With years of experience as a mother, educator, and administrator, Ardener is an excellent caregiver. She has cared for my 3-year-old daughter, much to my delight! Having witnessed her attention, understanding, compassion, redirection, and professionalism with children (in various scenarios), I highly recommend her!

Ardener was an amazing caregiver for my son from under the age of 1 until six. She always engaged him in safe and intellectually stimulating activities. He loved spending time with her!

Ardener was attentive, motivating and focused with an 11 year old who was reluctant to embrace his science project. She made it fun, piqued his interest, and helped him follow through to completion his project! He was excited to make it happen and Joyfully get it done!!! So were WE!!! (His parents.)
Ardener T.'s reply
Mrs. E., your son was a joy to work with. I'm so glad his project turned out well. I had just as much fun as he did. Please don't hesitate to reach out again if your son needs care. It would be my pleasure to support your family and to spend time with him again.
