Experience: 10 yrs
I am a 39-year-old, Former Pro athlete with 20 years of child care experience, along side college coaching! I enjoy childcare and community care as a true testimony of my life of service. I have done it all: newborns; Twins, multiples, boys, girls, teenagers, special needs and behavior disorders. I have also traveled and provided live-in support for a family of 6. DID I MENTION my multitasking skills are GREAT- I'd make a great house manager and/or personal assistant. When I'm not supporting a family; I'm a former professional athlete & D1 Basketball Coach. Competed in 15 seasons abroad. I've coached youth basketball (think 300+ kids with only 8-10 coaches-OMG). I believe my sports background allows me to connect with children on a whole different level. I love working with youth, advocating for them and with them, being able to share my abilities and talents with them definitely makes my job worthwhile.
Toccara is a wonderful, attuned caregiver. My daughter loved her and I was impressed with her gift for dropping in at my child’s level and getting her to engage. Toccara is everything a parent could ask for in a caregiver: responsible, kind and adaptive to your particular situation. You can do no better!
