I've spent five years as a childcare provider because I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. I love supporting families and providing a safe, reliable childcare option. I am patient, calm, creative, imaginative, friendly, and approachable. With parents, I communicate verbally at pickup and provide regular updates via text or phone call. I follow their preferred communication method. When it comes to household rules, I am very comfortable enforcing them. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and physical games with children, as well as board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I can comfortably care for up to three children. In addition to my college degree, I am a certified teacher and have completed First Aid and CPR training. I speak both English and Spanish. I am comfortable with pets and willing to help with cooking and meal preparation, as well as light housekeeping.
Martha has been taking care of our daughter since December 2024 but is now looking for another position since we are moving out of town. We are very sad to part ways with her because she has been looking after our daughter since she was 1 and has helped her grow into an adventurous, curious, happy toddler who now understands and speaks 3 languages (English, Hindi and Spanish!). Martha is a very friendly and loving person and our daughter has become good friends with her - she eagerly awaits her arrival every morning! I can't say enough about how flexible and accommodating Martha has been, a key need for our family. She is always up for any task you ask of her and we have always felt that she prioritizes our daughter's safety. She takes our daughter out every day - to the park/library/music sessions etc and after a nap, they will either do a reading session or another outdoor session. She also occasionally babysits for us for date nights or weekends. We love Martha and our daughter loves her and we will miss her dearly when we move.
