Meet Cherise

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I have 15 years experience working with kids age 0-13 years old of all personality types and enjoy them all. I've worked with ages 1-7 the most. My childcare experience has been for families, church nurseries (and as an extra helping hand with the youth ministry) and daycare. Within the last 10 yrs I've worked as a nanny for up to 3 kids at once, and as a part/full time babysitter. I went to school for Child Psychology for 2 yrs and plan to go back to finish as a psychologist. I have watched kids with ADHD, autism, or behavioral/emotional problems. I am very patient/motherly, attentive to kids needs, and believe in learning, positive reinforcement, structure and having fun. I try to mostly cook/eat healthy. I love reading/helping kids with homework, and playing. I am available for occasional 1st Shift, 2nd shift starting at 12 pm if at my home Read more and from 430 if at your home and 3rd shift on Sundays. I live in a quiet apartment in a quiet area of town and can babysit at your home or mine. I can do a background check as well, just costly on here. I do have a shared care or a Drivers License if you have a car that is usable. I am a great driver. Thank you for your time. If I'm a good fit, I hope to hear from you soon!
