I have several years experience in child care (over 10 years). I have three children, two of which are toddlers. We go outside a lot, to the park, the library, the zoo and much more. I do not run a "preschool" but we do practice preschool activities. We do crafts each week, practice on flashcards, etc. I am very open to alternative schedules for parents who travel and/or work late etc. If it can be worked out we both win right? I'm looking to be a part time sitter/occasional sitter. I'm a great alternative for when your usual caregiver calls in sick or if you are looking for a date night. I have great references and can provide you with much more information if interested. I do not run an in-home day care with multiple children. I keep it small to ensure quality time with both my children and your child.
