This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 3 yrs
I've been caring for children of all ages and levels of need for over two decades. Motivated by my passion for fostering children's growth and development, I have a wealth of experience as a caregiver, including babysitting and nannying. I graduated with my Master's in speech-language pathology in 2021 and have worked in early intervention for the past three years, focusing on children's language development from ages 0-3 years old. Patient, calm, creative, and friendly, I communicate openly with parents about their child's day through written daily reports, verbal communication at pickup, and regular updates via text or phone call. I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports and physical games, board games and puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I'm comfortable caring for up to five children of all ages, from infants to preteens. As a highly skilled swimmer, I would love to teach
