Hi, my name is Lori and I have an 11-year-old daughter. I would like to be around for her so what better than to nanny for a family. I have EMT training and have been teaching police, fire and first responders for 5 years. I love my job but it's very part-time and no summer work. I love kids wish I could have had more! If you choose me, rest assure they will be in good hands! I believe in teaching manners, morals, and a well rounded person. I will have my daughter with me a lot of the time so you get a 2 for 1. She is baby sitting lately and so great with kids. When you meet her you will see she is a great kid! She started reading at the age of 2 yrs. She is in all the advance classes. So if you feel this will work for your family feel free to contact me. Lori

Licensed home childcare center providing specialized care. I take the time to know your child and nurture proper growth and development. Featuring 1800 square feet of play space with a separate entrance from the home. I care for 4 children full-day up to 5 years of age with the occasional drop-in after school child. I develop curriculum based on the individual child's needs. We do learning through organized activities as well as play. For infants, that would include singing, tactile exploration, tummy time, etc. As the child grows older, working on language, motor skills, encouraging curiosity and problem solving. I also focus on Kindergarten readiness. I have a degree in education with a minor in speech therapy and have been certified in vision therapy. To provide a well-rounded experience we include music and cooking classes and quarterly field trips.

When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Wayzata, MN, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Wayzata, MN may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.
