A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Tracy. I'm a mother of three grown daughters and a grandmother of five, ranging from 9 to 20 years old. I'm active, motivated, and thankful for every day-with a glass that's always full!
I've been a nanny for 19 years, caring for children from newborn through age 17. It has been incredibly rewarding to raise my own children while also caring for and supporting other families' little ones. I bring the same patience, warmth, and dedication to every child I care for that I gave my own.

A little bit about me
I am a 51 year old mother of 4 kids of my own, and raised 4 stepkids as well. All are grown and gone except the youngest who is in school. I am a grandmother to a 2 boys, 5 yrs and 8 mos. My children are my life & nothing brought me greater joy than raising them. I've always loved & worked with children. I taught preschool for years & was certified in early child development. I also was a registered medical assistant & patient care tech. One of my children had medical needs so I have basic nursing skills & some extensive medical care experience. I used to nanny & have done so for several families, some with special needs. I have resume and references. I'm a partially retired real estate agent & house flipper with too much time & missing kids & the fun & laughter it brings, looking to add that & additional income. I cook, clean, and organize too.
