About Fern

Experience: 10 yrs

My background has helped me develop a calm, patient, and attentive approach to childcare. I'm comfortable managing daily routines, engaging children in age-appropriate activities, assisting with homework, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment. My healthcare studies have also strengthened my attention to safety, hygiene, and emergency awareness. Availability: • Monday: until 3:00 p.m. • Tuesday: until 3:00 p.m. • Wednesday: until 3:00 • Thursday: until 3:00 • Friday: until 3:00 Weekends: unavailable unless we talk, but in exchange for a weekend day I would take a week day off instead I ask for guaranteed hours of 30/week, if family cancels on me I expect compensation for missed hours. However, if I have to cancel on the family I would not be paid for those hours. If you do not need 30 hours of care I will charge a flat rate per week rather than per hour. My hourly rate is 17 an hour for children 1 and up. We can talk about flat rates if you do not need 30 hours.

We absolutely loved having Fern as our date night sitter for our two kids! The house was clean and calm when we got home, and the kids were so excited to tell us about the games they played and how much fun they had. Fern was also able to tutor our 11 year old for their ancient civilizations test. Highly recommend if your kids are struggling with their history homework!
