Hello, I'm Jay! I have been caring for children through care./com for 9 years, ranging from 3 months old to 12 years old. I have experience with infants, toddlers, toddler multiples, and large groups of various ages. As a classical musician and nature lover, I enjoy introducing children to music, playing outside, and most any craft project. I think it's important to spend quality time with the children I'm watching, while also allowing them time to think for themselves. I think it's important to have communication with parents about a typical schedule throughout the day, so the little ones are always getting what they need and bedtime goes smoothly for everyone. Outside of this, I do nature videography online! Meaning, my schedule is extremely flexible. I'm looking for around 3-4 days each week, but can be very, very accommodating to hours being extended if extra help is needed! If we sound like a good match, feel free to reach out!
Jay watched my two littles (5 and 2 years) for two weeks while I attended a class in the area. She also babysat for my sister (9 & 7) for a few days. Our kids absolutely adoreddddd her. She is fantastic at playing with them in their level. And taking them on wonderfully adventurous expositions outside. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
