As a skilled childcare provider with 20 years of experience including children with special needs, I'm passionate about nurturing and supporting children's development while providing reliable assistance to families. I have watched my two grandchildren since they were 3 months old. My friendly and patient nature allows me to connect easily with children, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I take pride in my ability to enforce household rules consistently. I believe in open communication with parents and always ensure they are well-informed about their child's day. I follow their preferred communication method, whether it's verbal updates at pickup or regular text messages or phone calls. My approach to play includes educational games that promote learning and development, as well as board games and puzzles. I can also assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and supervising children while swimming.
