About Heather

Experience: 3 yrs

Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. My positive experiences as a babysitter motivated me to pursue childcare, and for over 30 years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged newborn to 11. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, and I always follow parents' lead when it comes to household rules and preferred communication methods. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities that foster learning. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time and am happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I have some college experience, including Early Child Development coursework, and I'm also First Aid and CPR Trained and TrustLine certified. Supporting families is important to me. I hope to bring my calm and imaginative energy into your home and become a trusted caregiver for your little one.

Heather cared for our children for several years, and she is truly exceptional. I have very high standards for childcare—and Heather exceeded them all. She creates a structured, organized, and nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. What I appreciated most is that she goes far beyond basic care—she genuinely invests in each child’s development with patience, kindness, and intention. Heather has a natural warmth that children are drawn to, and her communication with parents is always clear and reassuring. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her!
