Hi! I'm Izzie! I am the oldest of six kiddos, one of whom has special needs. I believe that kids have so much to share with the world because they approach relationships with curiosity and honesty, and I have learned so much by being around them. I am passionate about creativity, life-giving ideas, learning, and having fun! I have been known to bring my guitar to babysitting jobs to write songs, read aloud while coloring, spontaneously bake cookies or crackers, or take nature walks to find birds and flowers. Having watched my younger siblings follow my example, I have realized the impact caretakers can have on a child's development, and strive to model patience, kindness, graciousness, and a curious, adventurous spirit! From a practical standpoint, I grew up overseas where we cook and bake everything from scratch. I am comfortable juggling a baby and several toddlers while making lunch, love leaving spaces more beautiful and organized than I found them, and am comfortable saying no.
We had an incredible experience with our Care.com PCA, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her. My daughter has a complex medical syndrome, so finding someone we can fully trust—both medically and personally—is everything. From the very beginning, she exceeded every expectation. She was not only highly capable and attentive to my daughter’s needs, but also brought so much warmth and positivity into our home. She has a natural way with kids—fun, engaging, and genuinely caring. My children absolutely adored her and looked forward to every visit. What stood out most was the level of trust we felt. It’s rare to find someone who feels like both a skilled caregiver and part of the family, but she truly became that for us. She gave us peace of mind in situations that can often feel overwhelming, and that is something we’ll always be grateful for. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family, especially those navigating more complex care needs.
