Hello, my name is Turona. I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in childcare. As a mother of two boys, ages 9 and 14, I have firsthand experience with raising children and understand the importance of providing a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. In addition to raising my own children, I have been involved in babysitting and caring for children of various age groups for several years. I am proactive, attentive, and adaptable, which allows me to handle a variety of situations with ease. My experience includes everything from supervising playtime, assisting with homework, and preparing meals, to managing bedtime routines and responding to emergencies. Currently, I am attending college to become a Registered Nurse and work as a tech at a local hospital, which has further developed my ability to stay calm under pressure and quickly assess and respond to any situation. I am also Read more CPR and First Aid Certified, providing an extra level of safety and reassurance. I genuinely enjoy working with children and am committed to creating a positive, supportive environment where they can thrive.

Turona was a great help! She came to help me at a birthday party at our home with several kids and did a great job jumping in to help set up decorations and games, clean up the kitchen before and after the party and was great managing the kids on her own. Very responsible, polite, kind, punctual and competent. I definitely recommend her.
