I am a loving, patient, Christian woman with 28 years of experience in childcare some of which included special needs childcare. I work with these children through music as I am a singer and songwriter and play the guitar. Children seem to love my music because it is slow and soothing and creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere for them. I love working with children as mine are all grown now and out on their own journeys. I am a woman of strong faith and serve the Lord everyday and I ask that you pray for guidance when selecting care for your child and the Lord will give you clarity in making the right choice. It will give you peace when that time comes to leave your precious child in the hands of another. I look forward to meeting your precious child and sharing in their development and growth.
