Meet Maureen

Let me start with the basics; I am a legal citizen, own my own vehicle, love pets (however, i m allergic to cats), i am also certified in Professional CPR and First Aid, which includes children and infants. I have no children of my own so i wont be bringing any child-like germs to your home in addition makes me very reliable and committed. I have a MA in Healthcare administration and a BS in sports medicine. I started caring for children at the age of 14. I am 1 of 6 children, so that's where it began. From there, i cannot count the number of children I've cared for over the years and can provide references. I am available to begin as soon as possible. I do want to make clear that i am only interested in child/infant care. i will tidy up the child's items, cook meals for Read more them and do their laundry only. If more then that is required, that needs to be reflected in payment. Finally, and most importantly, I have a multi-prong approach to caring for children; I am a huge advocate of a healthy diet, as many walks as possible and fresh air playing in the yard etc. I also don't like children sitting in front of the TV all day. I like to tap into the creative aspect of their small minds. Making crafts, increasing cognitive abilities by reading books. I live in Bridgewater and for the right family, I am willing to drive up to a half hour.
