My name is Isabella. I am 24 years old and happily married to my husband. I have taken over my mother's trusted daycare. I grew up with this daycare in our home, working with my mother while she taught me everything! Before I started shadowing her in the day care a year and a half ago, I worked as a professional nanny for 4 years, working with several wonderful families and earning my independent experience in childcare. Before I started as a nanny, I also gained experience being a lead camp counselor in a pony camp with children for 2 summers in a row. I started working in this daycare, shadowing my mother, but have now taken the full responsibility of the daycare for the past 9 months. While I do have a fully operational daycare, I currently have spots available for full-time care. I would love to talk and get to know you better! If interested, please message or call anytime! Home care has many advantages. The first is that your child will be in a small ratio. I am only accepting 6 full time/part-time infants to be in my care at any one time. I keep only children ages 4 weeks until their 3rd birthday or the corresponding school year once they have turned 3yrs.This allows me to interact with your little one and get to know his or her needs as an individual. Each child is special to me and I make it a personal goal to give each of them as much nurturing and hands on care as possible.
