About Polly

Experience: 10 yrs

For two decades, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and supporting families. My passion lies in fostering children's growth and creating a positive impact on their lives. I hold a college degree and have completed Early Child Development Coursework. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and tailor my communication to your preferences, providing regular updates via text, phone, or in person. I'm happy to assist with light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. Caring for one child at a time allows me to provide focused, individualized attention. I truly love seeing the world through a child's eyes, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family.

I’ve witnessed Polly lead our prayer group. She is a great leader and very committed to what she is doing as she helps lead others to the Lord while living that lifestyle herself also. She has an empathetic and caring heart. I’ve witnessed her care for a special needs adult friend and help provide for her needs both physically and emotionally, giving of her time to bless her out of the kindness of Polly’s heart. I’ve witnessed her helping with a mutual friend of ours and her kids when they lost their husband and dad. Polly cares deeply and helps wholeheartedly and is committed to what she is called to do. She would be a blessing to care for others. She’s easy to laugh and willing to help and is a Christian who is committed to what she is called to do.
