Experience: 5 yrs
Nurturing young minds and fostering their development is my passion. My five years of experience caring for children aged newborn to pre-teen have solidified my desire to positively impact their lives. I am a certified pre-k teacher with current First Aid and CPR Training. I am patient, creative, and approachable. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I am comfortable caring for up to five children. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and follow their preferred methods. I follow the parents' lead regarding household rules. I can assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, and errands. I look forward to discussing how I can provide a safe and enriching environment for your children.
Mercy has all of the usual strengths of being a good babysitter: able to manage multiple children at different ages and levels of play, appreciates activity and favors interaction with the child over using screens to do her job, excites children to assit in the cooking (when safe) and cleaning up, etc. but she stands above the rest because she has genuine care for your child. She wants each moment with them to be one they cherish and look back on as a joyful experience. She is quick to show compassion and bring families back together instead of allowing arguments to separate the play time. She is able to walk into any situation (even a disasterousy messy home!) and make the best of her time there. We are so grateful for her many years of service to our family!
