Loretta's Child Care

21 Pine Tree Lane Morris Plains, NJ

< 1 mi

I have several years' experience of child care (raising my two boys, ages 16 and 12), babysitting at the YMCA, babysitting out of my house, and working at a nursery school for the last 6 years as a co-teacher, a computer teacher and a music teacher. I love kids and feel I have a really good sense of how to deal with them. I like to keep them busy and are very conscious of their diets/nutrition. Also, during my college years, I worked summers at a YMCA day camp in PA. And for about two years, I've taught Sunday school to preschoolers in Randolph, NJ Re: cost... $14/hour and possibly negotiable.

I have my BLS certification which entails first aid, CPR, blood born pathogens and Cognitive AED. For the past 8 years, I have been running an in home daycare. I have excellent references. . The entire lower level is set-up for the children. The space includes a main room, two bedrooms and a full bath. I have an outstanding group of families whom I have been working with long term. I run things very similar to a preschool providing a combination of a school and home like setting. A typical day includes ABC's, numbers, days of the week, shapes/colors, etc. We enjoy reading stories, playing dress-up,play-doh, and of course if the weather is nice, we are outside. I strive to not only provide an educational atmosphere but also a respectful environment. I emphasize great importance on the idea of cleanliness, kindness, and friendship (Please and thank you go a long way). The children who currently attend have built lifelong friendships as have I with their parents. Please contact me with rates and availability. I do offer sibling discounts as well as nights and weekends. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
