I have been a family home daycare provider for 25 plus years. I believe that every child should grow up and learn in a safe environment in which they are motivated to exercise their imaginations. Children I have taken care of in the past find immense comfort and joy when they come back to visit--reminiscing on the memories I built with them. I love learning from them as they do from me!

Hi! My name is Christine and I have previously run a Home Day Care In Loudoun County, Virginia. I am moving away from full time care on a daily basis and will be offering babysitting/childcare services in my own home. All the mess at my house not yours! I am looking for children aged 3.5 and up. Maybe you have one in preschool part time and aren't ready for full time but they need something more in their day. I am located in the Broad Run Farms neighborhood in Sterling, Virginia. I have many years of experience in childcare having raised my own child (now 30), previously operated a home day care, worked in childcare centers, and was a substitute teacher for elementary aged children (primarily kindergarten) for over 10 years. I keep my group on the smaller side. Currently, I am accepting applications for drop-in-care on an as needed basis. If you only need care occasionally and you don't always know when that will be, please feel free to contact me. I will need to keep all of your paperwork on file but as long as I have everything on file and I have space available on the day requested, then drop-ins are welcome! Right now I have a little one who just turned four and I would love to find a little girl for her to play with! Your little one will enjoy indoor and outdoor playtime, toys, puzzles, games, music and movement activities, books (We love to read!), arts and crafts, friends and more! Meals and snacks are offered throughout the day and are included in the fee. Also, we are pet friendly-we have 1cat and four turtles! We are a relaxed environment and want your little one to feel like they are at home with friends. If your little one is looking for friends to play with and you want to get some errands done come see us and see if we might be a good fit! I look forward to meeting you!
