Hi! My name is Andrea. Since I can remember working with kids has been my passion. In high school I went to a program where I learned about the development of children and taught them hands on (ages were Preschool to middle school at a school for children with special needs). I then went on to work at a child care center as an assistant teacher. While I was at the center I did many training's and classes to further my education in child care. I have worked countless years as a nanny and babysitter. I now have a 3 year old son and I am looking to watch a couple kids at my home in West Irondequoit. I love arts and crafts, music and songs, reading in animated voices and finding fun ways to further children's development. I have experience with children from 6 weeks old to pre-teens. Please feel free to ask me any questions you need to see if this is a good fit for you and your loved ones. As a mom, I understand how important that is!

Hello families! My name is Chelsea Goly, and I have been a daycare provider for the last 6 years in Fairport. I am CPR, first aid certified, and am formally educated in early childhood education, child nutrition, development, and the overall health and safety of children. I am able to watch children from 6:30am til 6pm Monday through Friday, and offer mostly full time hours at this time. I also have one before/after school opening. I offer a preschool curriculum, which involves storytime, arts and crafts, music and movement, outdoor fun and various learning activities (ABC's, numbers, shapes, handwriting, colors, reading skills, and much more). It has taken years for me to perfect my preschool curriculum, and it has been very successful! The children look forward to &quot;school time&quot; each day, and it is so rewarding to watch them grow and become prepared to enter the exciting world of kindergarten! I have two beautiful children of my own, and have six years of formal childcare experience. During the licensing process, I needed to obtain a background check of myself and my husband, along with several home inspections and reference checks that are always available for parents. I have a swing set in my backyard for the daycare children, and offer breakfast, lunch and snacks. I will be taking the children to the library every week along with field trips to the museums if parents give permission! I absolutely love my job, and am looking forward to meeting you and your children. Call or text me for pricing. Cost depends on how many children, ages and times. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I know it is hard being away from your children, but I can promise you that they will have a fun, educational experience in my program. I will treat them as my own. Feel free to contact me to set up a time to meet me, and visit my home. Thank you!
