I call myself an old fashioned babysitter but the terminology now is day care provider. In other words, I go by whichever name you prefer. I have a small group of children (usually 6 or fewer depending on day and time of day) and have great times. I have a large completely fenced in yard with loads of activities both inside and out. Including monthly crafts. Meals and snacks provided. CPR and all required classes done. I have been providing care for 30+ years and love it. They love me and we have a great time. Parents think I am really good at what I do and are always letting me know this which just validates that their kids really do enjoy the time they spend here. Also all the smiles, hugs and kisses the kids give me on a daily basis confirms their love for me and my love for them. ***My weekly cost is $150.00 per child, per week.
