Experience: 10 yrs
I am a Social Worker by profession but have not worked in the field since having children. When my daughters were young, I was a stay-at-home mom and cared for other children in my home. When my daughters started school, I became very involved in the school where they attended. I volunteered 10 hours a week in the special needs classroom, five hours a week with the ESL program and was a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader for many years. Additionally, I was very involved with the PTO and a CCD volunteer. After my kids were settled in school, I started substitute teaching but didn't find it very gratifying because I was always at different schools never having a chance to know the children. 11 years ago, I took a full-time position as a lunch lady at a high school originally for convenient school hours, but continued because I loved being around kids all day! After work, I was employed by a family who needed their children met at the bus, homework help and general fun. I'm choosing not to return to the high school in the fall as they have outsourced a new catering company. I know I'd much prefer to be a caregiver to children, I can spend more time with and truly help to make a difference. I am dependable, loving and trustworthy, and fingerprinted and background checked as it is a requirement for those working in the school system. My daughters are in college now and I have a lot of time on my hands and I believe there would be no better way to spend it than caring for your children. My commitment and loyalty to you and your family would be very strong as I hold these two factors in the highest regard. I look forward to hearing from you and to hopefully becoming your child/children's caregiver.
Claire has been everything our family needed! For a working mom like me, Claire has been the dependable person I needed her to be. For my three children, she has been the caring, helpful, patient woman they need after a long day of school. My children love Claire! She understands that kids are kids and are therefore not perfect. She is thoughtful....bringing my kids special snacks she knows they will enjoy and presents on their birthdays.
