In-Home daycare
I specialize in infant care and I currently am looking for new infants starting now. I offer personalized infant care in my home in a very relaxed and safe environment. I am very friendly, outgoing, bubbly, honest, trusting, and reliable. I have 3 children of my own. (13,11, and 7). In addition to them I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I truly love what I do and take great pride in my work. In my spare time I love to spend time with my family, read, watch movies, and so much more. I live in a very safe and clean neighborhood in West Des Moines. I also teach basic skills as a part of my service including: exercising, walking, talking, eating, and transferring from bottle to sippy cup just to name a few things. I am also first aid and CPR certified. Everyday your infant is with me you can count on me going above and beyond! I know it can be a tough experience leaving your new baby for the first time and sometimes it can be more stressful for the parents then the children. You can rest assure I will take care of any special requests you may have and will personalize your child's needs unlike a daycare center. I am also a clean freak. I have seen many other day cares that are not and I feel cleanliness is very important in maintaining happy and healthy children.

Amy says "For this age group it is so important to have a nurturing environment. Infants need to be touched and held which is not the case in a commercial daycare...
