About Grace

Experience: 5 yrs

Starting at age 5, my family did foster care for 0-5-year-olds. I love children, and genuinely just want to see them smile. I worked at an After school care in South Carolina for 5 months for my college internship. This was with 4-13-year-olds. I helped with snack, events, activities, and tutoring. I obtained my associates degree in human services this summer to learn more about the best ways to care for others. Putting others needs before my own comes very easy to me. I am a very organized person, and I know schedules can be very important for little ones so keeping to a schedule won't be hard for me. I started volunteering in my church nursery's since I was 12, and became a babysitter very quickly after that. At 13, I was watching children very often for families from my church on the weekends. This was with ages 1-3-year-olds. I love dogs and cats, and feel comfortable with children who have special needs as well. My 3 younger siblings all have special needs from ADHD to FASD.

Where do I begin! Grace was/is my saving Grace, she not only loves our daughter like she is her own but the love she has for our family is astonishing, from our daughter, to myself, to my husband and our two fur babies, she just wants to be there for us and love us! From day one she fit perfectly into our home and family. Being a new mom I was very raw three months ago and she made me feel beautiful, comfortable, supportive and loved. She has so much patience with me and my husband as we tried/try to navigate parenthood from offering her time when we needed extra help, cooking, cleaning, organizing, talking, providing advice, looking up new toys/teethers for us to try. She never made me feel uncomfortable while I traverse through breastfeed which i was so nervous about. She has sat with me on the couch and has just listened to me if I needed someone to talk to during my PP times. The love she shows our daughter brings tears to my eyes, I absolutely love the way she lights up every time Grace walks through the door or grabs her from nap time. She has so much patience with her and just wants to see her grow and smile. I am beyond humbled to have Grace be ours and our daughters first nanny, I cannot wait to tell her about her when she gets older. She has not just been our nanny but has become a friend and become family. Grace has special touch with babies and kids she has so much joy to bring to your family and I without a doubt would hire her again. She will be sincerely missed in our family but we cannot be more excited for her new adventure!
