About Grace

Experience: 8 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I find immense joy in the funny, engaging nature of children. With many years of experience (20 on and off) I provide reliable, thoughtful care for children of all ages, espcially infants to early elementary age. I'm a college graduate with a flexible full time role. I'm primarily looking to be a date-night and backup care option for local families. Unfortunately I travel regularly so cannot commit to regular schedules at this time. My approach is patient, calm, and playful. I am comfortable enforcing the rules and boundaries you establish regarding manners, screen time, and nutrition. Whether we are enjoying educational games, crafting, or playing outside, I prioritize support and safety. I am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation (I love to cook) and pet care. I'll be sure to stay in touch whichever way you prefer. I look forward discussing your family and children's unique needs!

Grace is fantastic. She is compassionate and attentive to our daughter when she cares for her. She follows our routine and communicates with us when needed. Our daughter adores her time with her. Makes date night easy and guilt free !
