About Jamie

I provide exceptional care for children, ages infant-14yo. I have been with one family for 7 years! I can provide a glowing recommendation. I have also worked with a other families within this time. My primary responsibility is the child's safety and well being. I closely monitor children's play by engaging with children on an individual basis to help them learn and grow. I work with the parents to develop and implement discipline to promote positive behaviors. My first preference is to use the distraction technique and from there, a 'time in' to check in with the child to discuss how they are feeling. I encourage the children when upset to use healthy coping mechanisms. I plan and provide well balanced nutritious meals. I organize fun and educational extra curricular activities. I enjoy being creative with the kids by doing arts and crafts. I also love spending time outside. I schedule play dates, library visits, etc.
