I’m a compassionate and dependable caregiver with over five years of experience supporting both children and seniors in home health, senior living, and childcare settings. As a Practical Nursing graduate (LPN, NCLEX-PN pending), I bring strong skills in safety, patient care, and attention to detail. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, hygiene, playtime, and maintaining structured daily routines. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, my background in elder care has strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to respond calmly in any situation. I’m experienced with monitoring well-being, following care plans, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. Families can rely on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and professional while providing loving, high-quality care.

My name is Hannah C. I have been married to my amazing husband for 19 years in October of this year. I have a daughter whom is 8 years old and a son whom is 12 years old. When my son was born back in January of 2014 I became a stay at home mother. I did not return back to work until my daughter started kindergarten 3 school years ago. I now work at my daughter’s elementary school part time as a student supervisor(recess monitor) I would also add to my experience I have babysat children at my church in age range from little baby to 10 year olds while the parents attend a Bible study group. I absolutely love working with children and it most definitely bring me lots of joy. I will advocate for the child when it’s necessary. I will most definitely watch out for the safety and wellbeing of your child/children. In stressful and chaotic situations I do my best to remain calm and collected and practice calming techniques. I will re direct and point to the positive side of things despite the stress and chaos. I love spending time outdoors, sitting down to color with children, reading a book to a child, listening to music or singing fun kids songs together, love taking walks and going to the park.
