Meet Grace

Growing up in a home that provided foster care to many children, I learned to value from a young age the importance of curiosity, play, teaching at an appropriate level, and the impact of engaged care on developing minds. I have spent time working with children of all ages in paid babysitting/nannying positions, as well as counseling kids 5-18 at a summer camp for the past 4 years. I am currently a student working towards a degree as an occupational therapy assistant to eventually work with young children as an OTA. In addition to spending time with children, I love being outdoors (swimming, hiking, kayaking), practicing yoga, and reading. I am (mostly) fluent in Spanish and have spent many weeks in Mexico volunteering at an orphanage and learning to cook some favorite meals. I can't wait until a time when I can spend more time exploring the world! Especially during Read more this difficult time as parents navigate working from home, school, and safety for their families, I want to provide families with a sense of comfort and safety as I provide the care your family needs. I have all of my clearances, my own transportation, and CPR certification. I wish you luck in your search for care, and am looking forward to hearing from families who think I may be a potential match with their needs!

Grace is a very professional, warm, and reliable sitter who connected immediately with our eight-month-old. She played games and kept him safe and happy throughout the time he was in her care. She did an outstanding job, and I have already hired her again!
