About Gretchen

Nurturing young minds is my passion, ignited by years of positive babysitting experiences and a genuine desire to make a difference in children's lives. With 20 years of experience caring for children aged newborn to teenagers, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach. As a certified teacher with a college degree, I enjoy incorporating educational games into our playtime, alongside outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and travel. Communication is key, and I will provide verbal updates at pickup or follow your preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. Holding certifications in CPR and First Aid, I am prepared for any situation. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family and provide a safe, enriching environment for your children.
