This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I've had several years of caring for children from the ages of new born through teens. I am a retired school teacher seeking part time care giving for children, adults, and pets. Totally responsible, reliable, and even entertaining, I try to bring joy to all of those I take care of. For over four years I have taken care of a young man who has some brain damage from birth, though I just watch him once a week on Wednesdays when his father is gone. I am free most evenings and week ends as well as some week days. I always come out and meet with people before accepting any jobs and I imagine you would want this meeting as well. I have excellent references, and hope that you will schedule a meeting with me so I can learn what type of care your child or person requires, and how I best can be of service to you to make your life easier. Thanks so much. I look forward to hearing from you.
