About Joanne

Experience: 10 yrs

I have over 7 years of experience working in daycare with an additional 10 years working with individual families. I'm a proud grandmother to 2 wonderful grandchildren, ages 6 and 8. My career has also included 18 years in the healthcare field, where I responded to a variety of emergencies and provided care to the elderly. For the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of working with a wonderful family I connected with through Care. com. I currently care for 3 girls, now ages 5, 8, and 10. . My role included leading phonemic games, number recognition activities, reading during story time, and assisting with field trips and other classroom needs. As all three girls will be attending school full-time this fall, I am now looking for my next family to support with the same dedication, warmth, and experience I've brought to my previous roles.

Joanne has been with our family for the past eight years, and to say she has been an incredible presence in our lives would be an understatement. She began caring for our children when our oldest daughter was just two years old and our second was only four months. Today, our girls are 10, 8, and 5—and they all absolutely adore Joanne. She has been with us through every stage, and truly, she has become part of our family. There is no nanny who could love and nurture a baby or toddler more than Joanne. Her warmth, patience, and deep sense of care are unmatched. She has always gone above and beyond—whether it was creating elaborate art projects, planning outings to playgrounds, or engaging the girls in learning activities that felt more like a personalized preschool experience than anything else. Her participation in the co-op preschool alongside us was yet another example of how wholeheartedly she invests in the children she cares for. Joanne is not only creative and nurturing, but also incredibly trustworthy and dependable. We have always felt completely at ease knowing our daughters were in her care. The values, kindness, and consistency she brings into a home are rare and so appreciated. To anyone considering hiring Joanne: you are truly making a smart decision. Please take great care of her, because she’s going to take extraordinary care of your kids. She is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of caregiver, and we feel so lucky to have had her in our lives.
