About Debra
Experience: 10 yrs
I raised 4 great kids and understand the challenges of a busy family. I've worked 20+ yrs with all ages; Elementary teacher, Youth Leader, Child Care Center Owner, Summer Camp Director & Foster Parent. With this diverse background, I have wisdom you can count on. I am very patient, creative and trustworthy. I am able to connect with kids and have a great sense of humor, along with the maturity to handle any situation. After 20 years in Virginia, I moved to Charleston, SC with Teach for America. I had to come to Raleigh last year to care for my elderly mother. Because of her personal needs, I am not able to be in the classroom full-time. So, I decided to join this highly respected agency, offering my time and talents for family assistance. Besides babysitting, date-nights or after-school activities, I am available for special needs care, academic tutoring, transportation for activities, etc. I also offer pet care. I have been a pet lover all my life and have experience with dogs, cats.

I was visiting Charlottesville from out of town and needed Monday-Friday full-time care for my 5 month old son. I didn't know anyone in the area, so I was worried about finding someone experienced and dependable. Debra was all of those things, and more! Upon meeting her in person, I didn't have one ounce of worry leaving my baby to her care. She has raised her own 4 kids, worked as a school teacher, and has experience handling breast milk. She did a superb job tending to my baby's needs, from eating to napping to diaper changes and also playtime. She kept detailed daily logs of his activities, and seemed to genuinely enjoy her time with him. I would recommend her without hesitation. She's a gem!
