*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.

I have been a nanny/caregiver for last 14 years in a variety of settings and I thoroughly enjoyed each moment. I have experience with multiples, special needs children and newborns through age 20. I am responsible, honest, hard working, dependable and energetic. I am a fun, kind and caring person that loves to play and make children happy. Everywhere I go, children always come up to me and become comfortable with me within minutes of our first meeting. I will go the extra mile to make the child happy, safe and well cared for. I will care for your children as I would care for my own. I am passionate about my work because the children of today are the adults of tomorrow. I love watching them go from tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies!

Here is a brief overview of what I have done the past few years. I am a married mother of 4 children; 3 in school and a 3 yr old at home. I have been taking care of my 82 year old father-in-law who has Alzheimer's for the last 6 years. Prior to this I was in real estate and a regional trainer for an eye wear co. The family recently decided that it became necessary to put my father-in-law in a home for his safety. I am now available and have decided it would be fun to start my own daycare at home. I have a minivan, so if you are a good fit for my day care I would be willing to do pickups or drop offs within a 15-20 min radius. Of course being a mother of 4, I have a lot of childcare experience! My 16 yr old is on the cross country team, my 14 yr old is in advanced classes, and my 10 yr old is on the safety patrol at school. My hrs are flexible, we can discuss your individual needs. I will be taking the children on walks to a nearby park. We will do activities such as arts and crafts, games, story time etc. I can provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting with you and your child!

Child care
At Smart Beginnings child care we have the philosophy that "If a child can't learn the way we teach, we teach them the way they learn." We strive towards using our medical backgrounds to develop plans to nurture the mind, heart and the body of a child through education and physical activity. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment in which a rigorous curriculum is taught, while our specialized gym provides opportunities for physical development and growth. As part of our goal to keep you involved in your child's progress, our teachers will keep you informed of their activities and their routines, and any changes made to them. Not only will you get updates on what they learned throughout the day, but also updates on their behavior and their interactions with other children, their eating habits, their interests and any/all academic achievements/milestones. Although our door is open to you, to walk in and to check on your child and our services at any time, we have also created a handbook to familiarize you with our policies and guidelines of our school, which will be provided to you at the time of enrollment. The policies and guidelines within the handbook adhere to the state licensing standards, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and their accreditation standards, along with guidance from various practicing physicians. If you have any questions or concerns about the guidelines and policies of our organization, we encourage you to come and speak with us, and we will gladly have our Director or one of our Board Members provide you with clarification on any topic, or answer any questions you may have. If any changes, or revisions, are made to the guidelines and policies we will be sure to provide you with prior notice, and reasonable time before the policy takes effect or impacts your child and you. Again, we look forward to having you be part of our Smart family, and putting your child in our capable hands. We hope that our relationship will be a fruitful and harmonious one, and mutually beneficial - we hope to create lifelong relationships with you and your child. Come and grow with us... Our new curriculum now includes Spanish, sign language, music and yoga.
