My name is Rashida and I am 25 years old. I run a part time In-Home Child Care that is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have experience working with children. I have been employed by the Independence School District for two and a half years. I did before and after-school care as well as substituting. I then decided to open a Day Care in my home. I have a 4-year-old daughter and a 9-month-old son. Working with children is a passion of mine and I am very patient and loving! My goal is to provide each child with an environment where they can have fun, feel comfortable, and also learn! My home is in a safe neighborhood and I have a large play/learning area. I will not only provide your child with a safe and loving environment but they will also have time to do arts and crafts and participate in learning activities. Meals and snacks are provided. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me either through phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you! rashidatimothy@att.net. 816-772-8908.
