About Valerie

Experience: 10 yrs

For over 10 years, I've been dedicated to nurturing children's development and providing families with dependable care. My passion lies in making a positive impact on young lives. I am patient, creative, and approachable. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I provide daily written reports and verbal updates at pickup, always following your preferred communication style. I enjoy spending time outside, taking trips to the library, zoo, science center, blue zoo, pool, playing board games, puzzles, and educational apps with children, or anything else creative that they may enjoy. I am comfortable caring for up to two children of any age. I have a 9-year-old daughter, am married, have a college degree, a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I am also trained in CPR, First Aid and Mandatory Reporting. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family, creating a happy and supportive environment for your children to thrive.
