Fostering children's growth and development is my true passion, and I bring five years of experience to your family. I hold a graduate degree with extensive Early Child Development coursework, which informs my patient and calm approach to care. As a former Certified Nursing Assistant with First Aid Training and CPR Training, I prioritize safety while keeping children engaged through creative play, outdoor sports, and educational games. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and carpooling. I follow your lead on household rules and adapt my communication to your preferred style, whether that is a quick text or a detailed chat at pickup. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I enjoy providing active supervision during water play. I look forward to supporting your family and creating a nurturing, imaginative environment where your children can truly thrive.
Claire has been an absolute blessing for our family. She cares for both my three-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter with the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness. From day one, she has gone above and beyond to provide high-quality care that meets each of my children’s individual developmental needs. She thoughtfully plans a wide variety of activities that are not only age-appropriate but also enriching and fun. Whether it’s creative play, educational games, or outdoor adventures, Claire always keeps them engaged and learning. She is incredibly attuned to their emotional needs, offering a nurturing presence that makes both of my children feel safe, seen, and loved. Claire is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. She handles everything from meals to transportation with ease and attention to detail, always making sure their routines are maintained and their needs are fully met. It gives me peace of mind knowing she is up-to-date on all her training and consistently demonstrates top-tier skills and professionalism. Most importantly, my children adore her. They light up when she arrives and always have wonderful stories to share about their time with her. Claire is truly an exceptional caregiver, and we feel lucky to have her in our lives.
