About Gretchen

Experience: 3 yrs

have over three years of paid professional experience in child care, along with more than five years of hands-on unpaid experience caring for children of different ages. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I truly enjoy building strong connections with children, keeping them engaged through creative activities, and helping with daily routines. Working with kids is something I genuinely love, and I always bring patience, energy, and a positive attitude to every family I work with!
