About Polly

Experience: 10 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I have dedicated the last 15 years to making a positive impact with the families I support. My background as a Doula and my EMT Training ensure that I provide a safe, nurturing environment for children aged newborn and up. I am a patient and calm caregiver who enjoys engaging with kids. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and maintaining consistency. I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates via text or phone call to keep you informed about your child's day. I have over 15 years experience and two special needs children of my own. I love spending time with children and am looking forward to childcare opportunities as all of my children have now entered school. I look forward to bringing my experience and friendly approach into your home to help your little ones thrive.

We adore Polly! Our 17 month old daughter has the best time when being cared for by Polly. She is fun, loving, caring and adventurous and has the sweetest family of her own. She is a great communicator and provides regular updates. I would highly recommend Polly!
