I have raised my niece from a newborn to 5 years old when she lived at home with myself and my sister (she is now 17), well versed in the world of changing diapers, feeding, comforting, bathing, etc. I also have a 7-year-old daughter, and in the past, worked at an inner city public school with pre-K through 5th graders. I am very patient, incredibly responsible - having worked as a director for a non-profit, and manager for a business. I thoroughly enjoy broadening the world of a child, and watching the joy that comes in seeing children learn and explore new things.

As a caretaker, I would be comfortable caring for your child in my home or yours, and would be invested in having the opportunity to spend as much time as possible outside in the natural world. I am a bike commuter, though do have a drivers license and access to a car if I absolutely need it. It would be my hopes that our adventures together would be close to home, or able to be reached by bike/bike trailer.

Your child would be welcome as part of my family - my partner and daughter also love children and would enjoy the opportunity to interact and connect with another child while meeting other families.
