*All day care *Before school/after school- will drop off or pick up *Date nights/over nights *CONVENIENT 24 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK* My goal is to have small groups of children and take care of them as my own. I would love to have long term families and build relationships with them and the children. I would be willing to help anyone if short term or last minute care is needed. I'm not a typical one room daycare, the children are welcomed in several rooms so they feel welcomed and at home. I'm not a teacher but I love reading to the little ones, and playing puzzles, etc. Older children will feel at home too. Meals and snacks are included.

I've been doing in home childcare for a little over 16 years now and I am licensed through the state. Prior to my daycare career I was a teacher until I became a Mom! I was also the head of an after-school program for a local elementary school. I've worked in daycare, summer camps, summer school, basically any job that involves children. I have my degree with a certification in early childhood education. I started babysitting out of my home 16 years ago and love it. I've teamed up with my sister who is also a stay at home mom and comes to my house to help me out or to fill in for me. Teaming up with my sister has really worked out nice because she's my back up so you wouldn't ever have to worry about your sitter calling off with the two of us! We would treat your child as if he/she were our own. As a mother I know how hard it is to find childcare I've been there, especially trusting someone off the internet. Rest assure being a teacher in a public school I've been fingerprinted, background checked, and have a great reputation from my long term families I sit for! I charge $50/day for full time and $60/day for part time (2 or 3 days). I live in Hickory Hills very close to 294 &amp; 55. Please email me if you'd like more information, I'd love to meet you and your little one:) Thanks
