I'm a social worker with over 10 years of experience working with kids and families. I sporadically have been babysitting since my high school years! My background includes a graduate degree, and I've completed First Aid Training. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and crafts with children. I believe in open and honest communication with parents and follow their preferred communication method to keep them informed about their child's day and address any issues that may arise. I'm confident in my ability to enforce household rules while creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive. I'm comfortable working with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a reliable, nurturing, and enriching childcare experience for your children.

I highly recommend Jo without reservation! She has a natural gift with children and a very calming presence. My kids feel safe and happy around her, and she always has thoughtful and age-appropriate questions that keep them engaged. She is extremely dependable and trustworthy. Any family would be lucky to have her support!
