I've cared for children for the last 20 years, and currently have a 8-year-old, 5-year-old, and 2-year-old- all three are in school or at daycare. I'm a newly single mom hoping to find positions that allow me to be there for my kiddos- so between school hours; during summer they will be in camps and daycare.
