Nurturing children and watching them blossom has always been a passion of mine. For the past 30 years, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional childcare for children aged 0-10 the majority of that time with infants and toddlers. I hold a Bachelor's degree, have completed Early Child Development coursework, and am experienced with children with special needs, including my own child. I believe that parrnts and caregiver are partners in caring for the child. I am comfortable caring for up to tthee children and have a car, making carpooling and travel easy. I enjoy taking my charges out in the community for story time at the library, open gym at the community centers in the area, to the childrens museum etc and engaging children with arts and crafts activities. Iam CPR and First Aid trained. Supporting families is incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to bringing my experience and enthusiasm to your family.
I have known Tracie for 8 years, meeting her for the first time in Cub Scouts in 2007. She had many roles in Cub Scouts working with children from 1st grade through 5th grade, and then moving on to Boy Scouts. All of the kids that came into contact with Tracie, including my own, adore her. She listens intently to them and takes an active interest in what they have to say and what they do. I have a couple of children with special needs and Tracie is truly the only person that I would trust to care for them. She understands them and what they need. I don't have to worry about them when I have to be away from them because I know that Tracie treats and cares for my children as her own. As a parent and a friend, this means the world to me.
