Currently I offer babysitting out of my home. I recently made great changes to my place to make sure the environment your child is in is fun as well as safe. I do offer a daily schedule and I try my best to operate as a daycare, although I am always trying new things to see how my parents and children adjust to make it most convenient and comfortable for them! I love to teach and care for children of any age. I do have 7 of my own which are here as well but they are all in school full time so they may be here in the a.m. during drop off or afternoon for pick up. I will definitely have everyone meet so you know who will be around your children. My main purpose is to help parents by giving their children a fun, safe, loving, caring environment to be in while the parents are working! I also enjoy taking them on field trips such as museums, parks, swimming, zoo, amusement parks, and any other fun places we can find that's weather appropriate if need be! If interested please feel free to reach out through text or call. I do provide daily meals as well and snacks! Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for reading my profile!

Are you looking for an affordable and loving daycare for your children? Are you looking for a licensed provider? Are you trying to find a provider you can trust that your kids will enjoy spending time with? I've got all that and more! I am a licensed elementary teacher and have experience working in large care facilities for 2 years. I have been working with kids since I was 12 years old and I love them. I believe the best way to prepare kids for school is by encouraging reading. We read throughout the day and always have a story for nap time. I also surround them with toys and activities that encourage literacy. I am a licensed daycare provider. I love field trips! I try to get the kids out of the house for field trips at least once a week. I enjoy taking them to the zoo, museums, library, parks or even just to the store. I try to use natural teaching moments that come up throughout the day, just like you would do with them at home. I want your kids to enjoy daycare and have fun while you are working. I try to incorporate activities they already love as well as introducing them to new adventures. We do have one sweet cat that wanders through the house and will occasionally snuggle a napping kiddo so please consider any allergies before contacting.

Hi! My name is Ami and I have been in the childcare and preschool field for over 15 years. Since my mother has a strong background in child care (owning a large preschool center through my childhood) it sparked my interest at an early age. Through the years I have provided care as a nanny, preschool teacher, infant supervisor, licensed home childcare provider, Girl Scout Leader, playgroup coordinator, mom and step mom. I left the childcare field in 2010 and have now decided to re-open my doors as children are truly my passion. I live in a family friendly neighborhood in a convenient location in SE Aurora. I have a large backyard, and we love to spend lots of time outside having picnics, playing ball, and doing other fun activities. We enjoy going on field trips to the library, parks, museums, zoos and much much more! We have free time and structured time throughout the day that includes time for play and learning. I believe in learning through play so we do lots of games, reading, role play, problem solving, crafts, coloring, talking and singing. I take great pride in opening my home to your child so that they may be provided with a loving and nurturing environment in which they can thrive. All of my certifications including CPR, First Aid, and Universal Precautions are current. I understand that each child is unique and will teach lessons that promote acceptance, sharing, responsibility, respect, compassion, and team work. I will use my training and child care experience to help your child continue their development by combining both play and educational learning and will strive to make your child feel happy and secure. I will provide a daily routine that will stimulate your child with age appropriate activities. I aim to help your toddler feel good about him/herself, learn social skills, and develop thinking skills in an effort to meet the needs of the growing child for love, guidance and knowledge. Our activities are designed to cultivate children's self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning. Different levels of ability, development, and learning styles are expected, accepted, and used to design the appropriate activities. Activities focus on reading, numbers, colors, shapes and more. School Aged children are offered a variety of activities during the time they are in my care. I understand how important family time is and will do my best to help your child complete any assignments possible before they are picked up.
