About Wendy

Experience: 2 yrs

I retired at 62 from a lifelong career in the engineering field to help my step-daughter care for her twin babies who are now almost 3 years old. I love the job but they have moved over an hour away so it really isn't practical for me to continue as their full time sitter. I just got CPR certified, have a college degree and I'm happy to play outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time and I'm willing to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and carpooling. I believe in open communication with parents, tailoring my updates via text or phone calls to your preferences. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules, but I would not want to sit for parents looking for a continually strictly structured environment. My philosophy is that children learn better by their own experimentation and example than being told what to do so I like to give them the freedom to do that while providing restrictions as necessary to keep them safe.

It’s hard to put into words just how lucky we’ve been to have Wendy care for our twin boy/girl toddlers since they were just a few months old. Now 2.5 years old, our kids absolutely adore her—and for good reason. Wendy has been a steady, nurturing, and deeply dependable presence in their lives, and in ours. Caring for one infant is challenging enough, but from day one, Wendy handled two with calm confidence and an abundance of love. She has an incredible ability to stay patient and composed even during the most chaotic toddler moments, and she always approaches each day with warmth, creativity, and a sense of fun. Whether it's reading books, singing songs, playing games, or just getting down on the floor and being silly, she fully engages with the kids and meets them where they are developmentally. Wendy is also wonderfully reliable and trustworthy. She communicates clearly, respects routines and parenting preferences, and has always gone above and beyond to support our family. She brings not only years of experience, but also a genuine love for children that shines through in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your children as if they were her own—someone kind, attentive, responsible, and incredibly loving—you won’t find anyone better than Wendy. She has been an absolute gift to our family, and any family would be lucky to have her.
