About me: I recently moved to the area to start my new career as a Financial Professional and am missing the more personal relationship one gets from providing care. I am super upbeat, love to laugh, and am a great listener. I also am calm and collected in times of stress (I have experience with seizure patients). I love just talking and playing games and building a relationship with my clients--they become more like family! Experience with care: Throughout high school and college I had the privilege of nannying for two families, as well as, baby-sitting for a few more! The one family I nannied for included a little boy who was 7-8 years old with special needs as well as his younger sister who was 5-6! The other family I nannied for included 3 children ranging in age from 4-10! One family that I consistently babysat for included 4 children ranging from 2-9! In addition, I also am the oldest of 5 kids and helped with various children care opportunities through my church! Although I do not have a ton of experiences with caring for seniors I am eager to gain it! I have volunteered throughout the years at a few nursing homes and have experience with my Grandfather who was hard of hearing and prone to falling and a Grandmother who had dementia. I believe that seniors hold so much wisdom and experience and would love to just sit and chat with them all day--listening to their life stories is something that I cherish. Important to note: I am looking for either a long term solution for evenings and/or weekends or a short term solution for MWF anytime of day.
