This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 8 yrs
Fun, loving and always willing to go the extra mile to have fun with the kids I look after. Having grown up in a family of 11 and being the youngest, I have PLENTY of nieces and nephews whom I have helped raise over the years. I am highly qualified to take care of children of all ages and have excellent references both personal and professional. I am punctual, loving, kind, patient and can work around any schedule. Working with children has always made me happy because they're so full of life and through them, I learn so much about myself and always great to have fresh and innocent perspectives to brighten the world around me :) I have worked in the hotel industry, restaurant business and caregiving and babysitting but out of all these jobs, I enjoy working with kids the most. It is an important part of their lives and it's crucial to give them the most attention all the while keeping them safe & loved. Feel free to call or email if you would like to know more.

We hired Lupe to watch our twin 3-yr old boys for about 2 months, 6 hours a day, 4 days a week, while I was working in the area. She was great! So loving, fun and reliable. I never worried about leaving the boys in her care; she has a heart of gold. She took the boys to the playground or library every day, regardless of weather. She stuck to our established schedule and provided consistency. She prepped lunch and served lunch and cared for them as they recovered from hand, foot, mouth (nasty illness!). One of our boys has significant health and developmental issues, to include severe nut allergy requiring an Epi-pen. This did not phase her and I felt she would be capable of handling any issue that might come up. Fortunately, nothing did. The boys were at a developmental stage where they were testing limits and boundaries. Lupe remained calm and kind. Perhaps she could have been a bit more strict, but that isn't her style. And personally, especially for short term care, I prefer to know they are in loving hands rather than being subject to unduly harsh corrections - or worse. We are so sad to be leaving the area and have offer to have Lupe visit us any time she wants. We'll miss her!
