My name is Kathy( also know as Nanny by children I have cared for in the past) and my years of child care experience are extensive. I have been a nurturing care provider for my entire adult life, I have raised my four now grown children into successful happy adults all while running a licensed family day care out of my home on & off since 1994. There may be no place like home for your child, but finding a quality in-home child care provider can be the next best thing. Let my home be your child's home away from home. I have cared for a variety of children ranging in age from six weeks old to five years old. I am committed to providing children with the best care possible in a home setting.By down sizing my family day care I have been able to provide more one on one interaction with the children I have cared for. I am able to provide full-time or part time care from my home Monday-Friday 7:30am - 5:30pm. I provide the feeling of comfort ,safety, compassion and patience to all of my children and reinforce quality of care over the quantity of children in my care. By doing so I have formed everlasting bonds with the children I have cared for and their families. My belief is that parents and providers should be able to develop a relationships in teaming together to successfully raise a child. Issues such as food choices, potty training, behaviors (good and bad), socialization,are all topics I like to work hand in hand with the parents.My care services include providing your child with a safe home environment that I hope to make feel like their own, meals(breakfast,lunch and snacks) any special diets I ask the parent to provide the food, playful interaction I am First-Aid and CPR certified.
