I have taken care of children for 10 years now. I previously worked in a daycare where I was for 5 years and then decided to go on my own which I have done for about 5 years now. I am trained in CPR and First Aid. I have also taken child abuse and communicable disease courses. I provide good quality childcare where I treat children just as I would my own in a small group setting. I live in a quiet little village with a fenced in yard with access to a little park right at the end of my street. I enjoy children and love watching them grow.
