Hi! My name is Alicia and I am a stay at home mom with 2 boys of my own. One is a 1st grader and the other is 15 months old. I have an ECE degree and I'm first aid trained and CPR certified. I have the luxury of being able to stay home with my kids and I would love to have another child or 2 to take care of. I would love to be able to help out another mom or dad who is not able to stay at home with their child(ren). I am flexible when it comes to full-time or part-time and even drop-ins. I have a huge room in my house set up specifically for child care. I have all the amenities of a daycare including swings, bouncers, highchairs, walkers, exersaucers, jumpers, play mats, pack 'n plays for sleeping, lots and lots of toys for children of all ages, etc. I provide parents with a "daily sheet" each day over viewing the child's day (eating, sleeping, diapering, mood, any needed items). I have worked in daycare centers as well as having my oldest son in one for 5 years. I know how they run and I try to run my home just like that only without all the germs and lower numbers for more attention and care. I have a big, open heart with an enormous love for kids. I am a very organized, clean person. I love to do arts and crafts and explore outside but most of all I love to teach and care for children. Not only will the children have free time to use their imagination and be kids, but we will also go outside and play and explore, we will sing and dance and do arts and crafts. I also do age appropriate lessons with the children including shapes, numbers, letters, colors, etc. I have a huge heart with an even bigger love of children. I can't wait to meet you and your little one!

Minita S. My name is Minita. I am a mother of three adult children and 7 grand kids, whom I took care of since birth. My oldest grandchild is 17 yrs old. I have been a licensed childcare provider and ran my own family daycare for the last 15 years supporting families with children ranging from Newborn to Teen and Special Needs. I recently moved to Georgia to be close to my family. I believe that children need solid role models around to uplift and support them and I hope to provide that for any child that is entrusted to my care. I feel that I am well equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to provide children with a safe and positive experience of having me as a Nanny. I have completed all background checks, up to date with all relevant vaccinations &amp; am CPR and First aid certified. I can provide you with references of other kids that I've cared for. I look forward to chatting with you at your convenience to see if I might be the perfect fit for your family needs.

Hi there! My name is Iryne. I am a Communication Studies student at UMUC and expect to graduate come Dec. 2016. I am also a mother of three boys; my youngest turned four this past August. During the past two years, I have spent time volunteering in child care activities when the need arises. I have also spent time tutoring and babysitting for families and friends. In addition to all these, I have been teaching and babysitting kids that range from ages 2-11 at my church (Light House Chapel International Norcross, Ga) every Sunday. Kids are not just interesting; they are smart, and their brains are like little sponges with an enormous capacity to absorb new material. I feel so fulfilled to have them understand concepts that at the beginning always seem impossible for them to understand. I have coloring pages, worksheets, and other printed study material. I also make use of most resources online, and I have a subscription to IXL which has been very helpful to my kids. I don't intend to create a learning environment only; I will provide childcare services as you deem necessary for your child. Just in case you are wondering, I also babysit kids below the school age. Hope to see you soon.

Cresco Montessori School is a full-service private school, learning center, and daycare serving children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Notably, Cresco Montessori is one of the few schools in the state to offer the free Georgia Pre-K program, making high-quality early education accessible to more families. The name "Cresco" is derived from the Latin word meaning "to grow, increase, or expand," a fitting reflection of our mission to foster the holistic growth and development of each child. Guided by the Montessori philosophy, we nurture independence, responsibility, self-confidence, inner discipline, cooperation, and—most importantly—a lifelong love of learning. At Cresco Montessori, children experience the joy of learning through freedom of choice, supported by trained Montessori educators who serve as their guides. Each child is encouraged to refine their natural learning abilities, ensuring they are well-prepared for future academic and life experiences. Our classrooms offer a rich variety of activities and specially designed materials that stimulate all five senses, promote intelligence, and cultivate independence. The learning environment is carefully prepared to support development across five structured areas: Practical Life – Enhancing motor skills and refined control of movement. Sensorial – Building the foundation for intellectual life through sensory exploration. Language and Literacy – Developing communication, reading, and writing skills. Cultural Subjects – Encouraging artistic expression and scientific understanding, including art, music, geometry, geography, meteorology, history, and biology. Mathematics – Strengthening comprehension of basic math concepts, including all four arithmetic operations. In addition to its academic offerings, Cresco Montessori School provides enriching extracurricular experiences. Students participate in weekly yoga and music education classes, and have access to optional afterschool enrichment programs that include TOTs and Playball (athletics), art classes, and private music lessons such as piano and guitar. Whether you are seeking a safe, engaging, and academically empowering environment for your child on a full-time, part-time, or drop-in basis, Cresco Montessori is the place to be. Tuition rates vary depending on the program your child is enrolled in—be it full-time, half-time, before/after school care, or drop-in services.

Care Member says "We are a Japanese family. Everyone at this school is very kind to us. My daughter loves going to school because the teachers are so kind and polite."
