About Gretchen

I'm passionate about caring for children, and I strive to make a positive impact on their lives. With experience as a mother of three, a former Elementary Librarian and substitute teacher, I'm very comfortable caring for children. Whether it's imaginative play, books, board games or crafts, I love incorporating education and keeping it fun. I'm patient, empathetic, calm, silly and friendly, with a nurturing personality. I follow parents' preferred communication methods to keep them informed of their child's day or any issues that arise. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules and ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care. In addition to my experience and skills, I have a reliable car, clean driving record, CPR/First Aid Certified, and I'm a non-smoker. Furry pets welcome and loved Optional childcare at my home
