Hello! I'm a nurturing, patient, and dependable grandmother with a lifelong love for caring for children. I have many years of hands-on childcare experience, including nannying my grandchildren throughout most of their school years. This included trips to and from school, sports practice and events, doctor visits and homework, while preparing their meals and packing lunches, as needed. This has given me a strong understanding of children's routines, developmental needs, and the importance of providing a safe and comforting environment. I'm calm, loving, and attentive, and I enjoy supporting children through structured routines and day-to-day care. Now that my youngest is away at college, I miss all of this! I specialize in before and after school care, including transportation. Before school I can stay with your child until it's time to go to school, assisting them with getting ready for school, fixing their breakfast, and making sure they have everything Read more they need for the day. After school I can stay with your child until you're home, providing snacks, meals and homework help, as needed. My goal is keeping your family's routine consistent just as if you were there yourself. I treat every child with the same kindness and patience I give to my own family. I spent two years as a middle school math teacher, many years as a math tutor and over 25 years in financial services with major companies. I would be honored to support your family with reliable care and a warm, home-like presence. I offer discounts for over 10 hours a week.
