About Gretchen

I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver who is passionate about fostering children's growth and development. With a decade of experience, I have a proven track record of providing a safe and stimulating environment for children of all ages. I am patient, calm, and creative, and I love playing outdoor sports and physical games with children. I am committed to open and honest communication with parents and will follow their preferred method of communication to discuss their child's day or any issues that arise. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules and ensuring the children in my care are safe and well-behaved. I have some graduate school coursework in early child development, am First Aid and CPR certified, and have completed coursework in early child development. I am also willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision.
