I have been licensed in Ramsey County for 20 years. Prior to starting Come and Play Daycare, I taught with the St. Paul Public Schools Early Childhood Family Education program. I taught in both of their infant/toddler programs and preschool programs. I also taught in the SPPS Learning Readiness Program. Prior to that, I taught at Wilder Child Development Center, student taught at Jean Lyle Children's Center and also worked at an infant daycare while in college. In 1991, I graduated from Macalester College with a BA in Psychology and Education. Come and Play is structured to give children the opportunity to use their imagination, creativity and talents. Art, hands on activities, group and story time, sensory activities, gross motor and small manipulative play, dramatic play and open play choices are all offered throughout the day. My philosophy is that children learn through play and their "work" is their play. Children learn from one another and their experiences. Currently I have 2 daycare openings for children in ages of 2 years - 5 years old. Please feel free to contact me with questions. References available upon request. Thanks for considering Come and Play! :) Sandy

Thank you for considering me to be your nanny. I feel that my role as a nanny or babysitter is that of maintaining diligent watch over the children to ensure their safety and comfort, interacting with children in a way that creates a positive association with learning and looking for every opportunity to encourage learning and development, and supporting the family by assisting with toy organization, the kitchen and the laundry. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I care for children with a loving, responsible older-sister vibe. I genuinely love to hang out with children and listen to them, read books, sing, play catch and soccer outside, go for walks or to the park, have dance parties, draw pictures, and be silly. I have years of experience caring for infants and I bring an awareness of the first years' developmental milestones to my play and interaction with them. I am certified in First Aid, Infant/Child CPR, and SIDS/Abusive Head Trauma; I have had a three-hour training on car seat use and general safety practices for driving with children in the car and I have a perfect driving record. I have a car with a forward- or rear-facing car seat. I am a member of the International Nanny Association, and utilize their recommended practices. I am a member of DONA, a certifying Birth Doula and experienced as a Postpartum Doula as well. I have excellent, current references. Best wishes to you in your search! Elizabeth

A child's earliest years include some of the most important and formative stages of life. Because our experienced teachers will help shape and guide your child for years to come. Because we give children the opportunity to develop relationships, self-confidence, and respect for others in a safe, nurturing environment.
