Hello, I am a warm, kind person. Quick to smile and find the lighter side of a circumstance. My belief is that a child is a fully cognizant person, despite their age, and I have the responsibility to be respectful, open, and loving with my feelings and all interactions. I am delighted when a child trusts me, and presents a curious gaze, or, if I am very lucky, a smile. I have a comforting presence, and convey a secure competence. I believe in a troika of discipline: parent, child, caregiver, all having a role, with plenty of room for transparent discussion and compromise. Conflicts can be minimized by setting priorities and assuring all involved be aware of boundaries and limits. That being said, I would like to bring fun and a happy atmosphere to a home; honey not vinegar, as they say. Practically, I believe in adhering to a schedule, when it is appropriate, such as school, homework, activities. It is vital to create a rhythm and normalcy when the parents are absent. I enjoy cooking, baking, and, (I know it's odd!) but laundry is my fave. I think it is the simple synchronicity of it, soothes my soul. Ok, I'll close here, and hope this will appeal to a nice family, and we find a good fit.

Dianne was hired by my parents as a caregiver when my Mum could no longer manage the home. My Mum was suffering from incurable cancer, and my Dad with multiple issues including symptomatic dementia. Dianne stayed at their house to help from Friday evenings through Monday mornings. She looked after their needs, from walking the dog to cleaning the house. She genuinely cares for those in her care. It is heartfelt, and not in the slightest bit fake. The only minor flaw I could think of is that she could develop a larger repertoire of ideas for meals. She prepared and served meals, but often used suggestions from my Mum on what to prepare. This was difficult when my Mum had lost interest in food. That said, Dianne prepared the food well, and served it with pleasure, and on time. I strongly recommend Dianne. She truly enjoyed her work with my parents, and it showed in the way she interacted with them. My parents were very comfortable, and were comforted, by her efforts.
