Audrey's At Home Daycare

255 English Place Basking Ridge, NJ

< 1 mi

My name is Audrey. I'm a mother to a smiley toddler. I was struggling with the idea of putting my daughter into a &quot;daycare&quot; environment because I feared she would be lost in the crowd. I ended up giving up my job in the education field, where I worked with Pre-K level students. I'm currently a Stay-At-Home mom and looking to find a family who is in need of daycare, but would prefer a more individualized, nurturing and comforting place for their little one. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and finding out if we are the right match for one another. My home offers a loving, attentive, and safe environment where your child will be well taken care of throughout the day. I offer the comfort in knowing you child will be nurtured and cared for allowing you to focus during your daily responsibilities. Small ratio of children 1:2 max. For additional information please contact Audrey at aspronz@gmail.com.
