Hi, my name is Skylar. I'm looking to start a quality in-home daycare out of my home beginning around the end of May. We are currently finishing our basement to have a larger toy room! The hours I will be providing are 6:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. I am looking for 3-4 children around the ages 6 weeks to 5 years to care for. We have a nice backyard to play in that is fenced, a park located less than 2 blocks away, an Aquatics Park just down the street and the public library nearby! We are also located in a cul-de-sac! (No busy traffic!!) Located in the Ironwood Estates/Venbury area of Altoona. Most of the cul-de-sac does in home daycare- giving your child lots of opportunity to meet friends when the weather warms up!! I strive for the most safe and secure surroundings for your child. I will be providing breakfast and lunch along with 2 snacks. Also included are wipes and diapers if needed. I am currently a Certified Nurses Aide and have been watching kids since I was 15. If you have any questions please send me an e-mail. Hope to hear from you soon! References will be given upon request. If you have any questions or to schedule a walk through email or call :) Thank you! -Skylar

When I was growing up, my mom had an in home daycare. I helped her out a lot with the children. She had kids ranging from 6 months to 13 years of age. I also have 2 younger brothers that I helped take care of. I have babysat for a few different families when I was growing up. I was also a nanny for a summer after I graduated high school in 2007. My senior year of High school, I worked in a daycare in my hometown. I was the lead teacher for the 1-year-old class room. But I did fill in, in all of the other class rooms ranging from 0- 4 years of age. Also I watched the after school program sometimes. I took Child Development classes in high school as well. Then in 2008, I worked at another daycare center. I was also a lead teacher in the 1-year-old room. But I started out in the infant room. I filled in, in all of the other class rooms as well, ages ranging from 0-4. Now I am a married, stay at home mom of one child. He is almost 7 months old, he was born January 26th 2012. I have been trying to find children for my small in home daycare I want to start up but I am having no luck with just fliers in town. I love children and I am very good with them. I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I grew up with 2 younger brothers that I helped take care of. I babysat for neighbors in my neighborhood. When I was a senior in high school I worked at a daycare center in my home town. Then I became a nanny for a summer for a 1-year-old. In 2008 I worked at another public daycare. In both daycares I was the lead teacher for the 1-year-olds. I also worked in the infant rooms a lot. I also filled in, in all of the other class rooms ages 0-4, and school age as well. Then I moved to Carlisle in 2010, and got married, and had a baby on January 26th 2012. My child is the light of my life. Now I am a stay at home mom, and am looking for a couple of kids to watch during the work week. It would be good to have children for my child to interact with! It has always been a dream of mine to start my own in-home. I love children, and love playing, and interacting with them!! Watching them grow is so rewarding! I also love going to the park, swimming pool, and the zoo! I would treat every child I cared for as if they were my own!
