About Joan
Experience: 10 yrs
Providing reliable support to families and becoming a trusted partner in your child's development is my greatest professional motivation. With 10 years of experience, I offer a patient, calm, and approachable presence for your little ones. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training. My background includes working with special needs children, and I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules consistently. I love engaging children through educational games, puzzles, and board games that spark curiosity. Since I am comfortable with pets, I am happy to include your furry family members in our daily routine. I also assist with light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. I prioritize your preferred communication method to ensure you feel connected to your child's day. I truly look forward to the possibility of becoming a steady, caring influence in your family's life.
Most recent review
Joan did an amazing job of caring for our 3-month-old for 3 weeks when I transitioned from maternity leave to return to work. She was so helpful and I felt very comfortable and stress-free knowing Joan was at home with my little one. She spent between 4 to 7 hours a day caring for my son. She is very caring and paid him much love and attention. She is also always on time. She provided me with a rundown of how he did that day, how much he slept and ate, and what activities they did. Joan is also very communicative and always responded promptly to text or phone call. We are so lucky to have met Joan and had her help during this big transition!
