About Gretchen

Experience: 12 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

As a nurturing and responsible childcare provider with over a decade of experience, I am committed to fostering children's growth and development in a safe and nurturing environment. My passion for working with children drives me to create a positive impact on their lives and support families by providing reliable childcare solutions. My approach to childcare is centered around patience, friendliness, and open communication with parents. I understand that every child is unique, and I tailor my caregiving style to meet their individual needs. Whether it's engaging in outdoor activities, playing educational games, or assisting with homework, I strive to make every moment a fun and enriching experience for the children in my care. While I'm comfortable enforcing household rules, I believe in fostering a positive and respectful relationship with the children I care for.

Gretchen watched our 2 year old while we visited Portland for 2 nights and she was amazing! Since we were from out of town, we didn't have all of our son's usual toys and Gretchen was sweet enough to bring some for him to play with. She took such great care of him and he told me he had so much fun with her. The second night he wasn't feeling so well and Gretchen did amazing managing him and making sure he was comfortable and happy. I wish we lived closer because we would absolutely have Gretchen babysit all the time! Highly recommend.
