I am a stay at home mother of two, a two year old and an infant so I am able to care for an additional child in my home. I have previously cared for two other toddlers in my home but one moved and the other went to pre-school. I have also done pick-up and transport for school age children but I no longer have the transportation to do pick-up. I am within walking distance of the Belmont Library so we do regular outings to the library for play.
