Hi, parents! I have extensive caregiving experience which includes substitute teaching at the pre-K level and caring for children from infants to tweens. Since the pandemic I have regularly babysat and cared for the children of more than 200 families. This has given me a tremendous amount of experience and the ability to engage all types of children and manage all types of situations. I feel comfortable caring for stranger phobic toddlers, children who struggle with the transition of a parent leaving, fussy, sick children and kids who are just having a rough day. When babysitting I like playtime both indoor and at playgrounds as well as fun, age-appropriate activities. For toddlers I enjoy helping them reach their milestones through reading, play, talking, tummy time, etc. With older children I do arts and crafts and science experiments. My goal during caregiving is to keep your child safe and happy while having fun. I look forward to hearing from you.
Temeka was fantastic. I needed some help last minute (less than 24 hours) and I am so glad our paths crossed. She arrived on time, she was very professional, and attentive to our toddler. She engaged with him and put him at ease and found ways of comforting him when he cried as I left. I will for sure call her again for more babysitting and recommend her.
