About Heather

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing the growth and development of children has been my life's work for the past 20 years. As a certified elementary school teacher with extensive coursework in child development, I bring a creative and lively approach to childcare. I find genuine joy in the energy kids bring into each day, whether we are engaging in outdoor adventures, solving puzzles, or exploring new concepts through educational games. I have been CPR trained and EpiPen trained repeatedly and have been responsible for many students with severe allergies, EpiPens, and insulin monitors. I will ensure a safe environment for your family. I'm happy to assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel, and I am always ready to supervise swimming/playground sessions. I prioritize open communication with parents and will consistently respect your preferred methods for managing household rules. I look forward to partnering with you to create a supportive and joyful space where your children can thrive this summer!

We had a wonderful experience with Heather babysitting our 2.5-year-old and 9-month-old while we were on vacation. She was incredibly flexible, responsible, positive, and fun, and immediately connected with the kids. She was also warm and engaging with their older cousins who were around, even though they weren’t directly in her care. She was so easy to have around and truly went with the flow of our family and vacation. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her babysit for us again!
