My Summary

My Experience

As a parent myself, I bring a wealth of practical, hands-on experience to my care. I have lovingly raised my own two children and two step-daughters, giving me a complete understanding of different developmental stages—from the early years right through to the pre-teen years. In addition to my family experience, I have spent several years providing trusted and flexible babysitting for other families in our community.
