About Renee

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I am mom to one son who is 32 and a Paramedic/FF. Pets are fine. I currently have 1 cat. In the past I have had large dogs. All German Shepherds. My main work experience has been in the medical field as a secretary to a Family Practice Physician. After 10 years , I then commuted to Chicago and worked for Arthur Andersen and Kirkland & Ellis. Later, I decided to became a Phlebotomy Tech and worked for an OB/GYNE and in local hospitals. I have CPR/Heimlich training. Also first aid. Much later, I became a caregiver for children and seniors. I have cared for infants up to adolescence in age. Dependability, punctuality, honesty, and a sense of humor are a few of my character traits. I've cared for two children for approximately seven years who are in school and I am no longer needed. Both parents work; their dad is a police officer. I also had two other families whose children were cared for after that position. References would gladly be given to you.

We absolutely love Renee! She works with our two small children ages 1 and 2. They are both extremely excited when gets to the house each day and my 2 year old loves to tell me about the coloring and playtime activities they had each day. She also helps manage our two large dogs while we are gone, and our cat has her wrapped around his paw. She watches our children 3-5 days a week for 3 hours a day and also at other times upon request. I would recommend her to anyone. She is very reliable, shows up early, and has offered to stay later than usual when my work day doesn't go as planned.
