I’m a warm, patient, and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience caring for infants and young children. I’ve supported families with everything from newborn routines and overnight care to energetic toddlers who love to stay busy. I’m very comfortable with feeding, naps, playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, safe environment where children feel secure and happy. I’m especially mindful of following parents’ preferences and routines, and I understand how important consistency and trust are when it comes to childcare. I’m happy to help with light child-related tasks like bottles, baby food prep, and laundry to make parents’ days a little easier. Parents often describe me as nurturing, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being reliable, present, and genuinely caring with every child I work with. I treat each family as if they were my own and aim to be the extra support parents can truly count Read more on.

Carole stepped in to help care for our 1-year-old while he was sick and home from daycare, and we felt comfortable with her right away. She was very caring and nurturing with him, and he clearly had a great time playing with her throughout the day. She handled all of his feedings and naps easily, which made 3 stressful sick days a lot smoother for us. I would absolutely hire her again and would recommend her to other families looking for ongoing help as well.

Carole was very sweet and accommodating to our last minute needs while on a business trip. She sent many updates and made us feel very confident that our newborn was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again if in the area.

We hired Carole to pick our daughter up from preschool M-F, take her to various activities, make her dinner, give her a bath, get her ready for bed, and put her to bed (in other words, what DIDN'T we ask her to do!) She was always on time, has a very sweet and calm disposition, was communicative with us, and always eager to help and take suggestions. She even did things we DIDN'T ask her to, like clean our kitchen, straighten up around the house, take our daughter to the library to pick out books, work on her preschool homework, and do art projects. Our daughter really likes her, and took to her immediately. Our needs have changed and we no longer need someone full-time, but we will be calling her again for occasional babysitting for sure!
