I am a mother of 3 children, 26, 20, 18. I was married to their father for 10 years. After divorcing I met my partner of 16 years, who is now my wife. We are excited to become grandma’s within the next few years. Most recently, left high stress 40+ hour a week job in the financial services industry seeking to bring value to my community. Besides volunteering at nearby hospitals, I am looking to use my skills /experience to support working parents. Raising 3, know challenges parents can face, especially when seeking a quality caregiver for less than your entire paycheck! My goal is to help lighten the load by caring for your most precious little ones as if they were my own. I Love doing arts and crafts, reading age-appropriate books, and all the other things needed to care for a little one. I am also happy to Read more help with household chores, including laundry (side note: I am known for my amazing smelling laundry!). I am highly organized and tend to follow routines, but realize not everyone appreciates structure, so I am happy to tone down, if desired. I often can go an entire shift having so much fun, we dont get a chance to turn on TV/devices. Not against them, but not a priority or used as crutch. Previous personal and professional experiences have made me an expert scheduler, party/event organizer which could come in handy if parents need help getting things scheduled or planned. I drive/have an electric car-happy to use to run some errands. Lastly, medical background/experience. Knowledge considered above average. I am also in the midst of renewing my First Aid/CPR certifications, have current Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance (extensive criminal background check reserved for those responsible for caring for the most vulnerable in community; awarded by AZ Dept. Public Safety) & background check through Sittercity. Located in Gilbert, looking for occasional/one-off opportunities. Best of luck to your family in finding the best fit for your loved ones!
