Experience: 8 yrs
Hello! My name is Deirdre, I'm 22 years old and I have been told that I have the patience of a saint! I have 8 years of experience with children from 3 months to 13 years (3 years professional experience). CPR and First Aid certified. I have experience ranging from baby led weaning, to sign language, to sleep training, to potty training, I am open to and interested in learning anything else that may help your child grow and develop! I can meal prep for the kids & help with household tasks pertaining to the children (dishes, laundry, toys, etc.). I strive to leave the home tidier than I found it, but will never put that ahead of spending engaging and meaningful time in play with the children. I unfortunately do not offer driving services at this time. I love to thrift, read, & spend time with my family! I am a hostess at a local restaurant in the afternoons and am saving up for a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education that I plan to complete online when the time comes!
Deirdre is a national treasure! I am consistently impressed by her level of care, whether she’s engaging with my son in creative play, teaching him new things or navigating tricky toddler meltdowns. Deirdre is extremely trustworthy, professional and kind. Our whole family adores her and we are lucky to have someone like her to help us!
