About Joy

As the oldest of 7 children growing up, I have experience juggling the needs of a multiple-child household and am comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I'm a licensed paramedic with skill caring for people with special needs, medication administration, and medical monitoring. I believe in treating children with respect and dignity and helping them work through their challenges towards solutions. I'm looking for a job that allows me to feel like a valued part of the family. Whether it's once a month for date night or 5 days a week 8 hours a day, I think children can never have too many adults who care about them and are looking out for them, and I bring not only my skills but my heart to the job. In my spare time, I like to tie flies, fish, take my doggos on walks, ride motorcycles, lift weights One thing you should know about me is your dog is going to love me. My skills include nap time wind down, diaper care, healthy balanced food choices
