Hello! I'm a new Daycare Provider in Newark, DE. I provide daycare services within my home in order to give children that home-feel that their parents desire. I am also an Islamic based Family Child Care Home, which may be of great benefit to any Muslims or Non-Muslims in my area seeking care for their children. I don't do Islamic studies, but make sure that the environment is one that is full of love and good morals. I have no professional experience working with children, but I've been an aunt since the age of 9, and have 27 nieces and nephews that I've helped care for since that very age. I'm also the daughter of a Kindergarten teacher, and frequently volunteer at the local Islamic private school in my area. I absolutely love children and love having the ability to give hard-working parents ease when it is needed. I offer care between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.
