My previous child care experiences solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives and support families. My mother has been an elementary school teacher for 35 years and I have helped her in her classroom often; I was a caregiver at my local church for vacation Bible school; and my neighbor has a 20-month-old and a 4-month-old and I have helped her since the first child was born. I went to culinary school so I can also cook/meal prep for the child and/or the family. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I can care for children aged 0-5. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules and communicate updates via their preferred method, whether it's a text or a phone call. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. I look forward to getting to know your family!
I have known and admired Catherine for many years. When she and a younger cousin were growing up, she engaged him in ways that were safe as well as fun for both. He grew up loving and trusting her. Adults in their lives knew that Catherine would keep both of them active in productive ways. Later, I noticed how loving she was to a new infant and the baby’s slightly older sister. The toddling older sibling soon learned to say, “I uv you,” to Catherine. It was obvious that Catherine’s attention to the babies provided great relief to the parents. Not only have I witnessed Catherine’s devotion to young children, I can also address her honesty and integrity. Catherine is a young adult who will give her best to any task. She will not take advantage of any employer. I not only trust Catherine’s insights into guiding children, I also enjoy honest conversations with her. In addition to exhibiting high ethical standards, Catherine is a thoughtful and intelligent young adult. If I still had a child needing care and attention, I would definitely want Catherine to be included in my child’s life. Barbara, retired professor.
