About Jo

Experience: 10 yrs

I have over 35 years experience in childcare as owner, director, and teacher. I take great pride in providing the highest quality of care and unwavering best practices. I'd describe my personality as dependable, consistent, great at my job! I like working with kids because I know I can make every moment a teachable moment. I provide consistency that builds trust, and loving care that children connect to. I'm looking for a job that allows me to work with families to provide loving, attentive in home care. I started working with kids over 35 years ago. In my spare time, I like to stay busy. We camp and fish a lot in the summer, and I love doing crafts and gardening. One thing you should know about me is I have 7 children and 8 grandchildren! My skills include tons of experience with all ages, having realistic, age appropriate expectations, and I love making every moment a positive and teachable moment with children.

Jo took care of my son when he was an infant, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. My son has cystic fibrosis, and Jo went above and beyond to ensure he received the best possible care. She took the time to educate herself about CF, did her own research, and was always thoughtful, attentive, and proactive. She even created an informational sheet that explained his disease and detailed how to properly care for P, as well as the importance of handwashing and sterilization when handling him. Her compassion, dedication, and professionalism gave us so much peace of mind. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and advocacy she showed our son.💜 thank you Jo!
