About Mercedes

Experience: 5 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I find deep fulfillment in making a positive impact on the lives of young ones. Over the past five years, I have dedicated myself to supporting families by providing reliable, high-quality care for up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. My approach is patient, creative, and always approachable. I hold CPR Training and First Aid certifications to ensure your children remain safe while we engage in educational games or outdoor sports. Because I am a confident swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision for your family. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with light housekeeping or crafts. I prioritize clear communication through your preferred method, whether via text or daily reports. I look forward to the opportunity to bring warmth and stability to your home.

I am her grandmother. I have been around children. The kids love her. When she is around kids , they will come around her.
