I am able to offer you as the parent a peace of mind that your children are being well taken care of. I am reliable, dependable, patient, caring, honest and loyal. I am use to being on my feet all day and moving. I use to do daycare in my home until the children I cared for out-grew me (entered school). I then went into the school system to be a paraprofessional for 6 years (English as a Second Language). After that I felt I needed a full time/year round job. My own children were entering college at that time. I then went into retail (Grocery Store-Produce Dept.) for 13 years. I have left there because I would like to spend more time with my husband, meaning weekends off.

(Three openings 2+ years) Three full time (mon.-fri.) spots available in September. We welcome lots of older siblings in the summer and offer after school care during the school year! Welcome to your child's home away from home! It's all about the kids here. I believe in providing a safe, happy, fun, loving, stimulating environment to help the kids to thrive. In addition to providing for their basic needs of eating, sleeping, and diapering, I will offer them an exciting environment where they can have fun learning about the world around them. They will have a wide variety of toys to choose from that will stimulate all their senses and curiosities. My home is childproofed to keep them as safe as possible in addition to a watchful eye. They will have the opportunity to interact with other children and develop important social skills, but will also receive individual attention as a benefit of being in a small family daycare home. I am licensed by the state of Massachusetts which means several things. One, that myself and anyone on the premises have gone through a CORI background check. It also assures you that I have the proper credentials and training to care for your child. The Department of Early Education and Care monitors my policies, procedures, and curriculum that I teach the children, giving you peace of mind. I also carry liability insurance. My loving mother is my certified assistant to help me care for the kids on busy days. My wonderful mother-in-law also volunteers her time to come play with kids and give them extra love and attention. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fourth of July. Cost is $40 per day. Five free days given each year for sick days, vacation days, etc. May be closed up to one week each year for provider vacation. Vouchers accepted.
