I have cared for numerous people ages newborn to 88 years old. For child care I have lots of things for the children to do. I do have 2 cats and my daughter has a pet rat a pet rabbit and a German shepherd that unfortunately is paralyzed in the back end, but she is happy and healthy otherwise and loves people of all ages. I have a swimming pool that does have a locking gate for when the pool is not in use. I have a lot of different crafts and baking experiences for the children as well. I also work on their spelling, reading and math skills while they are having fun..
