Little Hearts Care

I am a stay at home mom, and I have two little girls. I decided to stay home after my youngest daughter was born. Before having children I graduated from Bemidji State University with a Mass Communication degree. While in College I played Division 2 soccer, although I no longer play, I have run in many 5K's, 1/2 marathons, and triathlons. My oldest is 3 1/2 and 10 months old. I am looking to start caring for one family. I am very active, fun, energetic, and looking for another couple fun kids that would give us the pleasure of hanging out with them during the day! We like to play at the park in our neighborhood, as well as explore near by parks, possibly travel to the zoo, splash pad, farm yard, and other fun (free) activities kids like to do. Having fun creative art days, playing chalk, going for walks, or pool time in the yard are other great activities we like to do. I look forward to hearing from you, and excited to meet your family.
