I'm a social worker with over 10 years of experience working with kids and families. I sporadically have been babysitting since my high school years! My background includes a graduate degree, and I've completed First Aid Training. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and crafts with children. I believe in open and honest communication with families and follow their preferred communication method to keep them informed. I'm confident in my ability to enforce household rules while creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive. I'm comfortable working with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a reliable, nurturing, and enriching childcare experience for your children. Please note I am only available for occasional or one time jobs, as I have a full time job.

I highly recommend Jo without reservation! She has a natural gift with children and a very calming presence. My kids feel safe and happy around her, and she always has thoughtful and age-appropriate questions that keep them engaged. She is extremely dependable and trustworthy. Any family would be lucky to have her support!
