Hi my name is Heather. I am a stay at home mom of four kids, a wife of 26 years, and a dog mom to a labradoodle named Tinkerbell. My kids are 19, 17, 14 and 11. Prior to being a mom I loved working at a Child Care center called Sunshine for 6 years and then I worked at a local private school called Legacy Private Academy as an 2nd and 4th grade Assistant Teacher. At both Legacy and Sunshine I learned to get down on a child’s level, using positive reinforcement to mold and shape kids with love and positivity. I am careful to give clear expectations and to anticipate potential behavioral issues and catch them before they start. (An example of this would be giving a five minute warning if our play is coming to an end, to avoid a transition meltdown, when playing playdoh setting expectations Read more before playing as far and how to use the playdoh appropriately etc. I love kids and enjoy playing with them and learning together. I love going to the park and helping children with their homework and reading books or playing games. My kids are getting older and I now have time to work again. You name it I have done it all from rocking colicky babies, potty training , to teaching four kids their alphabet, sight words and how to read. I have focused on character development with my kids molding them with self control, honesty, patience, kindness etc. I’m looking forward to soaking in some sweet kids from newborn and up. Please let me know your routine and guidelines, I will be happy to honor your wishes and follow them. I am mature and reliable, I will be careful to not be distracted by my phone as my attention will be on your little one. I am very safety conscious. I am CPR certified and live scanned happy to do a background check and references available. I look forward to hearing from you!

Heather is an amazing sitter who immediately clicked with our children, making them feel comfortable and cared for. She consistently arrived on time, showing great reliability, and maintained clear, open communication with us throughout her time here. We truly appreciated her thoughtful suggestions and attention to detail in understanding our children’s needs. Her warmth, patience, and professionalism made all the difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she provided. Highly recommend!
