Hi! My name is Devon and im a 44-year-old mother of 5 and grandmother of 1 grandson and soon to be granddaughter. I am college educated professional nanny/former daycare owner available for childcare. I have 30+ years experience including newborns, preterm, multiples and children all over the spectrum. First aid and infant/child CPR certified. I was previously covid vaccinated but after going through breast cancer treatment in 2023 my oncologist advised against further boosters but if it is a deal breaker I would be willing to revisit this concern with my dr. I LOVE all ages but have a soft spot for newborns and toddlers. Our youngest just turned 10 in January (identical twin girls) and I miss snuggling babies. Trained and very comfortable with caring for babies and children with physical and social/emotional needs throughout the spectrum.
We are so lucky to have Devon caring for our son! He's been with her since he was 9 months old and is now just over 2. He is always so excited to be dropped off at Devon's house to play with his friends (which include other children as well as cats and chickens!) She love and treats our kiddo like family and she and her kids have become family to us, too. Devon is incredibly knowledgeable about age-appropriate milestones and behaviors and tailors her approach to each child in her care based on their age and personality, while also adhering to consistent rules and boundaries. She changes up the toys in activities in her home frequently to keep the kids interested and occupied, giving them plenty of time for independent and group play. I love that she has a big vegetable garden and chickens! She's taught our son about different plants and he helps her pick from the garden and feed the chickens, teaching him responsibility and where our food comes from and engaging him in "helper" activities which have made him want to help even more when he's at home. I truly can't say enough about how grateful we are to have found Devon and have her caring for our son. She cares for us as parents, too, giving us advice when we ask and helping us through some difficult moments of being new parents. If you are lucky enough to secure a spot at Devon's home for your kid(s), do not hesitate!
