About Yolande

Nurturing young minds is not just a job for me; it's a passion ignited by years of positive caring experiences and a genuine desire to make a difference in children's lives. For 30+ years, I've embraced the joys of teaching and childcare. I have Early Childhood and Elementary Education coursework, enhanced by graduate studies, and my experience as an energetic teacher. My approach is creative, friendly, and supportive, blending fun with life lessons. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, and I enjoy reading, playing board games and outdoor games, puzzles, and educational apps with children. I provide regular updates through verbal communication, text, or phone calls, always following your preferred method. I am also happy to assist with overnight care, some cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I am currently up to date with First Aid and CPR Training. I'm comfortable caring for one to two children at a time so they each get the attention needed.
