There is not another place like this one so please read and ask all the questions you have! I am a Certified Child Developmental Specialist and Newborn Care Specialist. I have been in the baby business for 25 years. Most recently I have created a very unique in home environment for your newborn that will support your transition back to work and provide them with the specific, detailed and special care that will exactly meet their needs for those early weeks and months. Some children stay in my care for a few weeks- until they are big enough, strong enough or healthy enough for a larger daycare setting (or if they are awaiting a spot). Other children stay longer and continue in my care up until about two years old. Each situation is unique. Each family is unique. I often keep a wait-list so if you are expecting and reading this please reach out. It's never to early. However, life is full of change and from time to time I have a spot come open and I interview with families to fill it right away. So, it might happen that I have room now. I don't accept just anyone- as I would hope you wouldn't leave your baby with just anyone. The magic is in the match! My Bachelor's Degree is in Child Development, I have many additional certifications and I have 25 years work experience directly with children and families. From the NICU, Pediatrics, Social Services, Universities, Elementary School, Homes and Child Care Centers, CPS, Parents As Teachers, and many other settings. I stay current on SIDS, early intervention,First Aid, CPR, AAP and best practice for newborn care. I am specially trained in building attachment, baby massage, baby signs, building language, sleep, eating, playing, tummy time, routines (schedules) are key to helping babies learn and trust their environment and that is huge for me. I always worked part-time and stayed home part-time with my children. I feel strongly that you learn from both experiences. I am in my mid 40's and am married with six kids. Most of them are in college, but I understand the balance of work-home life very much. I am proud to have raised strong, successful people but I know I didn't do it alone. I had wonderful help and support and it's my pleasure to provide that to parents today. It's hard to leave your baby, but it is reassuring to know that they are safe, happy, laughing and learning. I am big on communication and flexible on schedules. Please reach out and let's start a conversation.

Child care
Welcome to St. Mary Magdalene Preschool. We offer full and half-day preschool for 3's and 4's during a traditional school year. Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where young children can learn and explore. We believe that a basic understanding of the beauty of God's creation and of his unending love and forgiveness for all people helps to set young children on a positive path for friendships, behavior, and knowledge of their own self-worth. Weekly activities in the preschool classrooms include arts and crafts, music, movement, alphabet and number activities, science and sensory activities, dramatic play, block play, writing activities, and manipulative toys such as puzzles and peg boards. In both the 3 year old and 4 year old programs, there is significant emphasis placed on social skills and language skills. The Preschool program at STMM follows the curriculum guidelines developed by the Diocese of Raleigh. Classroom teachers use the teaching methods and activities that they have found to be most effective with their age group as they address each of the curriculum standards set forth by the diocese. The Diocesan Curriculum for Early Childhood Programs includes activities and skills for each developmental area in which children learn and grow. These areas include spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive, language and physical motor skills. We are accredited by AdvancEd, part of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

I am a stay-at-home mom. We recently moved to the area from Maryland, though we are originally from Michigan. I have a six year old son who is in first grade and a daughter who turned one in May. I previously watched children for working moms as an alternative to daycare. I love children, have a safe, clean and child proof house. Watching another child will also be great socialization for my daughter and the child. I live down the street from a community park and across the street from an elementary school. I have a mini-van, extra car seats and everything I would need to watch your little one. My schedule is also very flexible. I would love to help working parents by providing loving one-on-one time with your child as a healthy alternative to a daycare center.

I'm a stay-at-home mom with two sweet boys (3.5 and 5) and I am interested in providing child care for one (or two children) upon our relocation to Apex soon. I have enjoyed gaining experience with a total of five wonderful kids and will be happy to provide references from any of the families I have worked with over the years. We are in the process of moving from Durham to Apex and my oldest will be off to kindergarten in a few months! I would love my youngest to have playmates once again. As a former middle school teacher and coach, I have several years of experience working with children. We are very active and spend lots of time outside in our yard, on neighborhood trails, at parks, and at museums. We love the local libraries and spending quality time at home as well. Your child will be nurtured in a safe and loving home. Let me know if you are interested in meeting our family.

My name is Nicole (Miss Nicole). I have 3 wonderful children of my own. I love my profession, there is no greater feeling than knowing that you helped in the learning and growth of children. It is rewarding in so many ways. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have one of the most important jobs out there. I would be honored to be a nanny for your family in your home or mine. What I enjoy most is seeing the expression of a child who has just discovered something new and wonderful for the first time and when they are able to perform a new skill without assistance for the first time. I have been caring for children the majority of my life in one fashion or another, from the young age of 14 to now, caring for family members, neighbors children and children in the community. I strive to improve the quality of care I provide to my clients as a Professional Childcare Provider by staying informed on the new childcare laws and mandates, new learning methods and activities. There are so many great options for your children. What makes my in home care different, is that I like to keep the ratio of children low. I'm not wanting to jeopardize any child for competing with a caregivers time or making the child feel like their voice is not being heard. Each child has the right to express their own individual beings. Your child will have the option to nap on their own schedule in their own room. We take trips to the park,explore the area around us. We like to get involved in the outdoors and we also like to have time to play inside and meet friends. I like to keep the feeling in our home very relaxed. All meals are homemade unless you prefer to provide meals yourself. I set up monthly calendars along with monthly activities. . I am a current member of Early Childhood Options and Care for Kids. I look forward to hearing from your family. It is very important that both sides feel a connection. I take great pride in providing a very comfortable and intimate setting for the children and surrounding them with positivity and encouragement to be the best they can be. Thank you, Nicole

I am the blessed stay at home mom of a six year old boy and two year old girl! I have provided child care in my home for five different families since the birth of my son in 2010. My degree is in Literature with certification in K-12 education. Prior to having my own children, I taught in a daycare, then taught middle school for three years. Each day, we have an engaging circle time, during which we learn about letters, English and Spanish numbers, English and Spanish colors, seasons, days of the week, months of the year, shapes, and how to spell our names. In addition, we sing songs, dance, and work on art projects. Children are a gift, and I am happy to offer quality child care, so that you are able to rest assured your sweet little one is in capable, loving hands! You will be able to report what you have paid for child care on your taxes, as I do report my business income. I am happy to provide references upon request.

Our story: As a working, single-mother of three kids, Stacy Shannon faced the challenge of getting her kids to and from their various activities while balancing her work responsibilities. Stacy realized she was not alone in this struggle. Stacy found that parents across the nation, needed a safe and reliable option for their child s transportation. Other ride shares were not designed with the level of care and safety required for families. As a result, a new kind of service needed to be created. GoKart was designed for parents. The service offers parents with safety and reliability so that kids can get where they need to go, when they need to go. Parents can have peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. GoKart hopes that by providing a safe and reliable option for child s transportation, kids can stay involved and engaged in school, activities and their community. In cases of separation, GoKart offers a seamless way for kids to get to and from their parents homes. For kids in the foster system, GoKart provides stability as it allows kids to attend their home school rather than transferring schools. GoKart was also designed to provide safe employment for local heroes. Whether those heroes be fire fighters, police officers, EMT or EMS, our company offers them employment in their off-duty hours. Driving for GoKart allows local heroes, who commonly face high-risk situations, to work in a less high-risk environment in off-duty hours. They continue to serve their community as they provide relief to parents and impact the lives of children. Furthermore, our service provides a way for stay-at-home parents to make extra income. With the ability to set their own hours, our service is readily available to parents that wish to stay at home with their children while also bringing in extra household income. As parents, our drivers understand the level of safety and care that a child s parents entrust in them as they drive their child to and from activities. Our first long term mission is to help children, of all needs, get to and from activities that they may not be able to have participated in without a means of transportation. Often, we see this with kids who have working parents, unable to leave the office. We also see it with foster care children, who rely heavily on the availability of social services. Whatever the case, GoKart acts as an extra set of hands and wheels for parents and kids. The second part of our mission, is to offer safe employment for
