This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
I have raised three kids (all of grown ages). I have started babysitting at the age of 14 with my grandmother for 2 years. I also take care of other family members' and friends' kids. I have a passion for kids and I want to continue caring for kids because that's what I have a passion for.
When we first started looking for someone to come into our home and support our family, our daughter was just two years old. We were simply hoping to find someone who was dependable, caring, and loving - someone we could trust with one of the most important people in our lives. We had no idea what we were actually getting. We found Ms. Lisa, and she became so much more than we ever could have asked for.For the past three years, Ms. Lisa has been more than someone who cared for our daughter - she has become part of our family. She is loving, nurturing, patient, dependable, and incredibly thoughtful. She doesn't just "watch" your child. She pours into her. She pays attention to what she needs, helps her grow, and loves her in a way that gives you peace as a parent when you can't be there. One of the things we will always be especially grateful for is how much Ms. Lisa invested in our daughter's learning and development. She incorporated educational activities into their time together and helped strengthen so many of the skills our daughter needed as she grew. Watching our little girl go from two years old to now five and starting school, we know that Ms. Lisa played such an important role in helping her become the bright, confident, curious little girl she is today. And Ms. Lisa's care extends beyond the child. She has always found ways to support our entire household and family. She sees what needs to be done, lends a helping hand, and goes above and beyond without making it feel like an obligation. That kind of genuine care is rare. Now that our daughter has started school, our everyday routine with Ms. Lisa has changed, but our relationship with her has not. We still call on her when work gets busy, when we have personal or family engagements, or when we simply need someone we know and trust to be there for our children. At this point, there is no question about who we want - we want Ms. Lisa. Ms. Lisa is truly a gem. She entered our lives as someone we hired to help care for our two-year-old, but she became family along the way. We are forever grateful for the love, care, lessons, laughter, and support she has given our daughter and our entire family. Our daughter may be five now, but as far as we're concerned, Ms. Lisa isn't going anywhere. We look forward to having her in our family's life no matter how old our children get. Some people come into your home to do a job. Others leave a lasting imprint on your family. Ms. Lisa is absolutely the latter, and we could not recommend her more highly.
