Hi, my name is Amber and I am a single mother of a beautiful baby girl. I have 11 years child care experience. I have been caring for children since I was 16 years old. I started Lynn's Child Care in 2003 when my older sister and her friends needed child care while they worked after school. I have worked with children with disabilities of different types. I have taken care of kids of all ages ranging from newborn to 13 years old. I have worked in licensed child care and as well as a private care provider. I have had one on one care along with multiple children care. I have had a family with 11 kids that I took care of as an as needed babysitter. Everyone has always said I am the go to child care person due to fact that I am really good with kids and I have reasonable rates. I do care for kids in my home as well as their own home. We do community outings when it's cool out. I currently have 2 kids in my care other then my daughter, a little girl who is a little over a year old and her brother who is 6 years and is in school during the day. I am looking to add one or two more kids. I also provide occasional child care for that date night.
