Hi! I'm Lacey, a former preschool teacher with 15+ years of experience working with children from infancy through the teenage years in both private and public settings. I'm currently transitioning my career into nutrition and health services supporting families with special needs, and I'm looking to provide temporary, occasional, or short-term childcare as my schedule allows. My approach is rooted in positive communication, respect, and meaningful engagement. I believe in engaging children, not simply entertaining them-encouraging curiosity, creativity, independence, and age-appropriate development through play and everyday experiences. Working with children and families has been an incredibly meaningful part of my life, both personally and professionally. I'd love to continue that connection while entering this new season of my career and provide experienced, thoughtful support to families who need an extra set of hands.
We hired Lacey to care for our infant twin girls and toddler son. Lacey is a committed and supportive caregiver, who loves children. She is 100% present when she cared for our kids. She supported and respected our values as parents with an open mind. She kept our kids engaged in age appropriate activities. She made it her priority to provide exceptional care to our children and ultimately make our day to day life easier. Lacey never limited her responsibilities to just caring for our children. She is a person who takes initiative, optimizes her time and was able to multitask without taking attention away from our children. Lacey is trustworthy and honest. I never had a reason to doubt her commitment. She is reliable, flexible and upfront about any schedule conflicts. Lacey is a good listener and receives direction with an open mind. We were very thankful for finding Lacey in one of the most times in our lives. I could not recommend a more wonderful, kind and genuine individual.
