James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above." Ask yourself, "What are you looking for in a childcare provider?" If it is someone who is passionate, caring and wants to be more than your child's "babysitter" I am your answer! I have spent twenty years working with young children. I am a certified special education preschool teacher who taught in a public school until I resigned last month. I was one of the blessed individuals who could say she still loved her profession after twenty years. I am now looking to bring my love of children, desire to help parents in need and a passion to engage children in activities ranging from numbers, letters, colors, and shapes to fine motor activities, gross motor activities and sensory fun. Infants? Toddlers? No worries. I am here to engage them in tummy time, peek a boo, cuddles and lots more. Children benefit from organization and structure. Routines help them feel secure. I will provide an environment where the children learn through play. Children are able to build their self confidence when they can learn and explore without the fear of being wrong. Children are learning to problem solve, communicate, be creative and socially responsible. It is my responsibility to encourage and promote these skills. My goal is that your child loves coming in the front door and is excited for the day. I treat every child as an individual and will recognize what is effective in comforting him or her, teaching him or her and making him or her feel important. When your child is with me, he or she will be treated as if he or she were my own. I will provide you with information on your child's day, send pictures and always keep the lines of communication open. My goal is to provide your child with a safe, nurturing environment and to provide you with peace of mind. One flat rate per month for a given set of hours per day with the option for additional hours at an hourly rate. Drop offs or occasional babysitting also available. Looking forward to hearing from you! Hours are negotiable. Rates depend on hours. Let's chat! Blessings, Cherish

Hello! My name is Erica and I have two children, ages 4 and 10, and also have many years of experience with all ages of children. I spent 8 years at an after school program, teaching ages 5-18. I ended as the Teen Coordinator as I worked myself up over the years during high school and college. A past Assistant Director of the program is a personal reference as I cared for her children often as well when they were younger. I also have added experience at a daycare and, again, with my own sons. I have a BA in Communications and Professional Writing but have decided to stay home for a few years while my son is younger. Our home is full of laughs, love and tons of fun. Please reach out to me if you think we would be a good fit for your child. By the way, they'd have a built-in playmate! I understand the difficulty of selecting someone to care for your child in your absence. I dealt with it myself. I will provide care for yours just as I care for my own.
