About Lorraine

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Lorraine and I have 30 plus years as a childcare provider. I truly enjoy what I do for a living. Not many people get to say that. I am a widow with 2 beautiful grown daughters. Do to the economy, I closed my family daycare I owned for 20 years and began to focus on working with children in their home as a Nanny. This allows for more one on one attention. Especially with infants. One of my hobbies is that I like to take classes that are related to the childcare profession. I recently received my certification as a Newborn Care Specialist, I have 20 ECE units and 20 nutrition units from my local college I feel it s important to know where our food comes from so I plan age appropriate activities that feature lessons like gardening and cooking with the children I care for, as well as arts and crafts reading daily and educational games. There are outdoor activities daily when weather permits. I like to include age appropriate lessons on nature.

Lorraine is much more than an incredible care giver for children. She was part of our family. She was incredible in every way and is absolutely the main reason why our daughter is so advanced for her age. She was walking at 10 months. Already saying words at 8 months, now, she Mimics us, knows her shapes and can communicate with us no problem. She is only 13 months! I cannot day enough kind things about Lorraine, she made great foods for our daughter and always made sure she was interacting and singing with her all day. She helped get her on track with a napping schedule as well. I HIGHLY recommend Lorraine and a jealous of he family who gets her. I wish we could hire her back! Hiring Lorraine will single-handedly be the best decision you ever make in regards to your children.
