About Carole
Experience: 10 yrs
Specializing in "one-time," hotel/wedding guest infant and child care. I'm more interested in occasional than regularly scheduled 'gigs'. I'll bring games, books, art projects and lots of love. It's like having an Aunt or 'extra Grandma' nearby. I have many years of experience with newborns through teens and 15 years as a public school teacher, mostly K-2nd (now retired). More experience with boys, including my now adult son, who's Autistic. As a 'tomboy' myself growing up, and living with a son, I relate well with boys' sometimes silly energy. I love imaginary play, baseball, swimming, bicycling. I am both fun and firm; employ Positive Discipline, and re-direct children, through singing, art and other humorous methods. A Spanish-Bilingual elementary school teacher for many years, I am fluent. I know many games and songs, everything from finger-play for little ones to playing baseball, soccer, art and drama, etc. My emphasis is always on activity!
Most recent review
Carole was fantastic. I needed a sitter for a wedding I was attending at Roche Harbor and Carole was definitely the right pick. She was great with my almost 2 year old. She read her books, helped her unwind from the party she was at and most importantly she knew what my daughter needed in order to successfully go to sleep. Carole also came over the day before so that my daughter had a chance to get to know her and could feel comfortable during the night of the wedding. Carole knows what she’s doing and goes above and beyond.
