About Martha

Experience: 3 yrs

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children and babies. With three years of experience, I have dedicated myself to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for young minds. My calm and friendly personality allows me to connect easily with babies/children, fostering a sense of trust and security. I believe in open and regular communication with parents, ensuring that they are well-informed about their child's day and any matters that arise. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules, maintaining a consistent and structured routine for the child's well-being. My approach to childcare involves a mix of fun and educational activities. I enjoy engaging children in outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning and development. I am also happy to assist with light housekeeping and travel-related tasks. My background includes a college degree, and I have completed CPR training.

Martha is the sweetest caretaker. My husband and have quite hectic schedules which require us to be out of state regularly so I hesitantly enlisted a caretaker. Hesitantly in the sense that I am not usually one to feel at ease leaving people around my daughters due to past instances of negligence, but there is just something about her. My four year old daughter loves her and she knows how to calm her down and gently reprimand her when she has her tantrums… i believe they even decreased! My pre-teen daughter always asks whether she can come over - even when we are home haha. She has become a big sister to my daughters and I will forever be grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend her services!
