In addition to the 10+ years that I have worked on and off in a child care facility, I am also a mother to 3. All 3 of my own children are all graduated and I was blessed with a grandchild this past year. I have lots of experience with watching more than one child at a time, as well as, infants and toddlers specifically. I have been trained to handle special needs as well. I love caring for children and love them like they were my own. I was attending college for an Early Childhood Education degree and almost completed my practicum when my own child had medical issues that needed to be attended to strictly at home. I have a unique ability to identify and learn each child’s specific cues and see to their needs in a way that suits them best. I look forward to hearing how Read more I can best serve YOUR family!
