About Cricket

I realize that leaving your loved one in the care of somebody other than family can be overwhelming. In time, you will be reassured that your child, parent, or grandparent is receiving the quality of care you can trust. I have formal education in human lifespan development, psychology, early childhood development, safety, first aid, behavioral health, depression, and adolescent development. I am a solid individual and trustworthy. I'm a grandmother of four and the mother of a special needs son. I have over four years hospital care, nursing home experience and managed an elder care hotline . I'm happy to provide loving care to your loved one. Children love me, as I do them-- of all ages.
