I am a mother of two school age boys. I have more than 15 years experience with children of all ages. I started caring for children in my home 7 years ago and absolutely love it! I love to get the children outside as much as possible. We have a nearby park and we have so many activities to do just in the yard. If the weather is not in our favor we will have a variety of things to do in the house, from crafts, reading, playing with toys etc. I will treat your child as if they were my own! I believe in positive communication and provide a loving atmosphere. I do also provide before and after school care. I will make sure that your child starts and/or finishes their homework prior to you picking them up. Thank you so much for reading my profile,. I hope to hear from you.
