Experience: 10 yrs
Knowing I could positively impact young lives drew me to childcare. My 10 years of experience have solidified this passion. I hold a graduate degree and have completed Early Child Development coursework. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, educational games, and whatever activities spark a child's interest. I am comfortable caring for up to two children. I am patient, friendly, and follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents through verbal updates at pickup and regular text or phone call updates. I'm happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I am also comfortable with pets. I hope to bring my experience and caring nature to your family, creating a safe and fun environment where your children can thrive.
Claire has been an absolute blessing for our family. She cares for both my three-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter with the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness. From day one, she has gone above and beyond to provide high-quality care that meets each of my children’s individual developmental needs. She thoughtfully plans a wide variety of activities that are not only age-appropriate but also enriching and fun. Whether it’s creative play, educational games, or outdoor adventures, Claire always keeps them engaged and learning. She is incredibly attuned to their emotional needs, offering a nurturing presence that makes both of my children feel safe, seen, and loved. Claire is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. She handles everything from meals to transportation with ease and attention to detail, always making sure their routines are maintained and their needs are fully met. It gives me peace of mind knowing she is up-to-date on all her training and consistently demonstrates top-tier skills and professionalism. Most importantly, my children adore her. They light up when she arrives and always have wonderful stories to share about their time with her. Claire is truly an exceptional caregiver, and we feel lucky to have her in our lives.
