A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Joann, and I am a mom of 2 grown children. I started childcare when I was just a teen and have cared for families' little ones for over 30 years now, both here and abroad. I am well experienced, patient, fun-loving and have a knack for making children feel comfortable and nurtured. Reliable, attentive and conscientious are a good way to describe me. I am both CPR and First Aid certified. I especially love caring for newborns. I can provide bottle cleaning, meal prep, transportation and run errands when necessary. I love to take kids outdoors to play, accompany to music class, visit the library for story time or go to the park or zoo. I am comfortable with pets. I'm a non smoker who likes living a healthy lifestyle, and I would love to care for your child and give him or her a safe and happy experience while away from mom and dad! I am looking for a full time position with a family I can grow with!

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about JoAnn. She has been with us full time since my daughter was 8 weeks old and, over the last year, has truly become a part of our family in every sense of the word. She is warm, patient, and so engaged with our daughter. She has always taken exceptional care of our daughter and gone above and beyond in supporting her development, suggesting toys and games, taking her to enriching classes and activities, and keeping us informed on developmental milestones. She is engaged, intentional, and genuinely invested in our daughter’s wellbeing in a way that you simply cannot put a price on. As first-time parents, having her in our corner has been an absolute blessing. It’s been a huge relief knowing that we were leaving our daughter in safe and knowledgeable hands. We are so sad to see her go and the only reason we are parting ways is that our family’s needs have changed. Any family would be so lucky to have her."

"JoAnn was hands-on and actively engaged our infant daughter to help meet key developmental milestones. As first-time parents, she would share good recommendations based on her prior experience, and she was communicative to make sure we were comfortable with our daughter's care. We were initially hesitant to trust someone else with our precious baby, but we're glad to have found such a professional and reliable caregiver as JoAnn!"

"JoAnn took care of our 4 month old boy for 6 months. She was terrific with our little guy and clearly cared for him deeply, and he also loved her. JoAnn has a lot of experience working with children and shared a lot of ideas and recommendations with us."
