Hi, I'm Dorothy! I'm excited to connect with you! My experiences as a grandma and raising my two daughters have further solidified this calling. Now a grandma, I currently care for my 15-month-old granddaughter during the day, but I am eager to offer either regular babysitting or part-time nanny services. I bring 30 years of experience and a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for more than one child and enjoy engaging them in outdoor activities, educational games, music, and reading. I love bringing children to the park or library! I am First Aid and CPR Training certified. I can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I always follow the parents' lead, including their preferred method of communication. I love to make days fun and support development. I bring a lot of energy, creativity and love to my work. I am excited to connect with a family and share my passion for childcare.
Dorothy is amazing! I can't recommend her enough, and can't thank her enough! She was a literally a saving grace during a time that my family needed help, and I always knew what I could count on her kindness, reliability, and care for our kids! She truly has taken care of our kids, but also, me, and also, our family! She has helped us get through some pretty stressful times, and she has turned them, even, into enjoyable times! She always has a kind, loving, and gentle way about her, that just puts us, our girls, and our whole family, at ease. We can't thank you enough, Dorothy, and thank you so much for taking care of our girls! We love you!
