About Valerie

Experience: 20 yrs

For over 10 years, I've found immense joy in nurturing children's growth and development. My positive experiences babysitting sparked a passion for making a real difference in young lives and supporting families. I hold a college degree and bring creativity, patience, and a friendly demeanor to every interaction. I am comfortable caring for up to four children of varying ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am skilled at cooking meals, planning crafts, and supervising swimming activities. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate openly with parents, following their preferred method. I enjoy playing educational games, board games, and outdoor sports. I am certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training and have experience with special needs children. Ultimately, I hope to bring my experience and skills to your family and create a happy, safe, and enriching environment for your children.

I wish I could afford to have Valarie all the time! She has shown care for my child while taking care of her. She communicates well and has a work ethic not many have. She has extensive knowledge and experience but also respects my choices for my child.
