About Joan

Hey there! About me: I have a BA in psychology with an emphasis in child development. I did my internship at a daycare center, have worked in several different day care centers in the past and volunteered at a school/hospital for special needs kids. I am a CASA volunteer (advocate for foster kids), raised four kids ages 19-29 and as you can see from my background, absolutely love kids. I occasionally watch an autistic young woman, have helped to take care of my 90-year mom and had the privilege of taking care of a wonderful 86-year-old woman. I have also taken care of animals when people are away. I am energetic, yet calm. Knowledgeable yet always approach things with an open mind. I am open to all age groups, have a flexible schedule and would be honored to watch your children and pets (I have 3 cats and a dog), be your personal aide, help you organize, run errands, watch your elderly parents. pretty much anything you require.
