My Love Bug Family Childcare, was created with the idea of helping home stay moms. As a mother I understand that running errands can be difficult when we have kids. I was reflected in that situation as a mother, and not having family around made it a little bit more difficult, so that's when I decide to open a in home daycare for drops in, to help the mothers around the time that they need to run their errands. Before I decide to become a childcare provider, I was a nanny for several years. I gained the experience base on working with kids, toddles and babies. In the process of getting my License through the state and all the paperwork that requires to open a daycare, I realized that the area where we live is expanding and need for childcare serices is high, so from there I took the decision to do full time and part time as well as drop ins.
