Morgan's Child Care

502 Monument Street Hollidaysburg, PA

9 mi

My name is Morgan and I am 33, married and the mother of one extremely happy 2-year-old son and a bubbly 8-month-old baby girl. Having gone through an unsuccessful search for in-home child care, I made the decision to leave my corporate job and stay home to raise my children. I would love for my children to be able to learn and socialize with children of their own age and their siblings. My family has a strong Christian background and I am currently finishing up my Bachelor's degree. My goal, as a stay-at-home mom/child care provider is to teach my children and your child the necessary things they will need to enter an educational setting in the future while reading stories, going for walks and enjoying the outdoors. We have a large home on a quiet street in Hollidaysburg with a fenced yard for additional safety. We also are parents to two very lovable dogs. I am interested in providing full-time, part-time, before and after-school, and vacation care for your child/ren and I am also available until 9 p.m. on some nights on a case by case basis. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and that loves children, I assure you that I can provide what you are looking for. I have worked with children from the time I was 12. As a teen I loved babysitting and as I grew older I also coached cheerleading and worked with teens. At our church I worked with the Sunday school kids and provided child care during services. Before marrying and moving from my home state to PA, I had applied and was training to open my own child care facility. After moving to PA, I opted for going back to the corporate life until, after having my own child, I realized that providing for his happiness was what was most important. My rates are reasonable and I look forward to meeting with you and your child. References will be provided upon request.
