As the first born daughter, cousin, and grandchild, I grew up caring for others. I have had at least 5+ years of employment with children of all ages, as well as adults. I have provided inpatient, residential, center based, and in home care. Throughout these opportunities I have been able to earn a range of certifications useful to a caregivers position. I'm a patient, creative, and compassionate individual who will treat your child, and care for them, like family. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring that we're on the same page about their child's well-being. I'm fun and very loving, but am also comfortable enforcing household rules set by the parents/guardians. I'm also comfortable caring for multiple children, from infants to teens. I am adventurous and love to find or create exciting activities for the child/children to engage in. I'm happy completing household chores, running errands, and completing any Read more tasks that make life for the family easier! I am CPR and First Aid certified with a Valid License and experience with children requiring special needs. Please consider me when choosing applicants!
