Hello! I am mom to one son who is 31 and a Paramedic/FF. Pets are fine. I currently have 2 cats. In the past I have had large dogs. All German Shepherds. My main work experience has been in the medical field as a medical secretary to a Family Practice Physician. Later, I became a Phlebotomy Tech and worked for an OB/GYNE and in local hospitals. Peds was one of my most enjoyable depts. I had CPR/first aid training as a yearly requirement. Currently, certified. Later, I was a caregiver for children from the ages of infant to teen. I am an avid reader and encourage lots of reading. Dependability, punctuality, honesty, and a sense of humor are a few of my character traits. I've cared for two children who will be in school and day care is no longer needed. Their dad is a police officer and the mother works, also. I've been with them steadily, as of Oct, 2017. Presently, as needed, if I am available. *Covid vaccinated with boosters ** Thank you.

We absolutely love Renee! She works with our two small children ages 1 and 2. They are both extremely excited when gets to the house each day and my 2 year old loves to tell me about the coloring and playtime activities they had each day. She also helps manage our two large dogs while we are gone, and our cat has her wrapped around his paw. She watches our children 3-5 days a week for 3 hours a day and also at other times upon request. I would recommend her to anyone. She is very reliable, shows up early, and has offered to stay later than usual when my work day doesn't go as planned.
