Hello. So I started with a family of two Dr’s. Caring for their newborn son. Almost exactly a year later I brought my own first daughter with me to their home to continue as their nanny. Fourteen months later I had my second daughter and asked that they bring their two yr old to my home so as not to take two of my babies out to their home, and they did. I had my third daughter one day shy of two yrs later and also started caring for another baby four months older than my third. So I decided to become state licensed and for fifteen years cared for six children under six at all times. I was blessed to eventually care for all teachers children so it was special to have my summers and school vacations off with my girls. After my divorce I went into housecleaning since Read more I no longer Had the big home to run a daycare business anymore. My daughters are now grown beautiful successfull women who have married and blessed me with five grandchildren from five years to four months. I have been the sole caregiver for my two grandsons who are now three and five presently. My granddaughters are two and four and our new blessing to the family is a four month old baby boy. I have and always will love more than any other job caring for babies, toddlers and children. I only have my three yr old grandson now since his brother is in full day school. I really hope to continue caring for others babies, toddlers and children until I physically cannot anymore. I strongly believe in educational stimulation and arts and craft activities. We spend a lot of time outside getting fresh air and being adventurous. I give lots of love, cuddles and fun with all ages as I did my own girls growing up. So I guess instead of being a Mema to my special crew I am trying to say I want to continue dedicating myself to helping other families. Please feel free to ask any questions that may arise. Thank you for considering me for your precious one.
