About Gretchen

Hi! My name is Gretchen and I'm 29 years old. I graduated high school in 2012 as a CNA. Since then I have been working in a School District as a paraeducator in special education classrooms. Through this, I became involved in the Special Olympics and now coach various sports through each Olympic season. I began babysitting when I was 11 years old and have been a consistent caregiver for families. I've spent 4 summers as a nanny. I spent time in Mexico doing missionary work. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I like to keep a schedule and stay busy with the children I am babysitting. I like to take them out places and create fun educational activities. I try to include art, music, reading, outside time, sports, healthy meal choices and leisurely time as well. I am very patient and I become very invested and loving to those I care for. I look forward to talking to you more and answer any questions you may have! ***BACKGROUND CHECK AND REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
