I have 11 years of experience and I have two adult children. I am a retired probation officer for the State of Connecticut. Currently I care for my 22-month-old grandson in the morning/early afternoon and a 7 year old and 11 year old in afternoons after school. Prior to that, I was caring for a 4.5 year old and 17 month old 3 full days a week . I had been with the family for 4 years since May 2018. Prior to that, I was with a family for three years, caring for two girls ages 1 and 4. My grandson will be going to daycare beginning April 1st, therefore I am looking for a morning-early afternoon position. I am available weekdays 7:30 AM-2:00 PM. I am loving, kind, dependable and very safety conscious. I have impeccable references and would be happy to provide them.
