*All day care *Before school/after school- will drop off or pick up *Date nights/over nights *CONVENIENT 24 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK* My goal is to have small groups of children and take care of them as my own. I would love to have long term families and build relationships with them and the children. I would be willing to help anyone if short term or last minute care is needed. I'm not a typical one room daycare, the children are welcomed in several rooms so they feel welcomed and at home. I'm not a teacher but I love reading to the little ones, and playing puzzles, etc. Older children will feel at home too. Meals and snacks are included.

For the past 5 years I have been a teacher and am now a stay at home mother and I would love to take care of your young one in my home in Roselle. I have a one year old baby girl and am currently expecting in late October and although it seems like I may have my hands full I assure you I am an organized, energetic and active type person. I love structure but understand that the needs of children can change from day to day. Being a teacher I enjoy watching and leading children in discovery and constantly talking to expose the little ones as much as possible. I love getting on the floor and being active with walks to the park which is only one block away. I already have a double stroller and can easily take our two to the park and when the new one arrives I enjoy using a carrier. I also have a large fenced in backyard with a swing set and a splash table on the deck. I plan on treating yours like my own. I only plan on taking a week off when the new one arrives and I am blessed with a support family to help out those first few weeks. I'm sure it won't be too long before I am back to my usual active self. I am looking for a permanent little one to care for over the years. You can drop him or her off in the morning and pick them up in the evening (9hrs) Monday through Friday, all that for 200 dollars a week. Not quite the hours you need I am flexible and willing to do part-time just let me know what you need. I can start immediately. Rates $8/hr (min of 5 hours) $50/day (9 hours) $200/week Prices negotiable, meals included, excluding formula, diapers and wipes. Can't wait to hear from you!
