Hi I'm Liz! I am a stay at home mom and provide professional child care for a limited number of other children in my home. My husband and I have 3 children, one of which is in school. They are 5, 1 and 2 months old. As a mom that worked in the corporate world for many years, I understand how hard it can be to find the perfect person to provide care for your little ones. This is one of the reasons I decided to stay at home and start my in-home child care after the birth of my youngest child. I love children and provide a safe, loving environment. All toys and bedding are cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis. I also provide healthy meals and snacks. During the day we engage in learning just as much as we do play. We read, sing, dance, have interactive and independent play, learn numbers and letters, animal sounds, colors, and so much more. We also do age appropriate art projects. I believe it is the first few years of their life that mold their passion to learn and have the most impact on their success when they start school. I am looking to provide care for children that are between the ages of 6 weeks to 5 years in order tailor the best possible care, growth, and environment possible based on the existing children in my care. I try to keep everyone as close in age as possible as I feel this is important to their development.
