Experience: 10 yrs
I've been a childcare provider for over 25 years because it brings me joy to watch children learn, grow, and thrive. As a patient, creative, and friendly individual, I find it easy to connect with children and create a safe, nurturing environment. I'm always happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, organization, and laundry. I have experience caring for newborns (including twins) through pre-teens, and am happy to provide excellent references. I love taking children outside on walks, going to parks, zoo's, etc. Doing arts and crafts, reading, and educational games that promote learning. I take my role as a childcare provider very seriously, as I was a single mother, and am committed to providing the best possible care for your children. I'm confident that I can meet your needs and exceed your expectations! I was with my previous family for 17 years, and I took care of everyone and everything. I am looking for a f/t, long-term position with my next great family!

The family that chooses Lisa to care for their children (or child), will be forever grateful! Lisa has been with us for 17 years and she is exceptional. My husband and I were both working, and I travel a lot with my work. She cared for our daughter from age 9 months and worked for us until our daughter graduated from high school in May 2024. She is an excellent, engaged, and reliable caregiver. From scheduling playdates, taking our daughter to all of her activities, caring for our pets, making meals - she did a lot. And as our daughter started preschool and beyond, she eagerly took on an additional role as house manager. Laundry, cleaning, organizing, grocery lists and shopping, and many other errands. When we were traveling, she would stay 24/7. Lisa always arrives on time and dives into the day, and I struggle to remember a day when she 'called in sick. I cannot say enough good things - and not sure how the Care website works, but I would eagerly speak to you if you are considering her. She is forever an appendage of our family.
