< 1 mi

Recently I became a stay at home mom and would like to offer child care for no more than two children in my home. I have nearly 16 years experience in child care. I worked as a nanny for my niece from October 1999 to September 2004, raising her until she was off to Kindergarten. After this experience, I worked at Kiddie Academy in Wading River from September 2004 to March 2015. My main responsibility was as a lead Pre-K teacher. Other responsibilities included opening the school, managing staff, caring for school age children and getting them on the bus. Since then, I have become a proud mother of a baby girl. I feel that the first five years of a child's life are so precious and with that i want to combine my two child care experiences. I plan to provide stimulating activities to nurture each stage of development and wish to inspire developmentally appropriate growth while in a warm and comforting home environment. If you share my vision of how a child might spend their first precious years, please contact me for further information. Thank you for listening.

Mama Nichole's Daycare

I am a fun loving, energetic, responsible and loyal childcare provider. I have been nannying for about 6 years and prior to that I was a daycare associate for 4 years. I now would like to take a few children into my own very safe home for childcare. I would like to help parents with low-cost but high-quality childcare. I live in the Centereach school district, so if you have older children and need them to be put on the bus or taken off the bus that is not an issue if you are in my district. I have experiences with ages 0-12 years of age and I also am a mother. I am CPR certified for infants and children and just reinstated my certification in August 2012. We would follow a daily routine and also have some specials such as visiting the library, or doing holiday-apropriate activities, learning the alphabet, numbers, ect. Basic pre-school criteria for a great price. I provide all children under 2 with a notebook of their day, so you will know about their diaper changes, food intake, behaviors ect. I will provide breakfast, lunch and snacks as well as organic juice and milk for your children. We also have a great park around the corner and I have a great yard as well. If interested for an interview or to view my home please do not hesitate to contact me, I look forward to hearing from you!
