Hi, my name is Randie Lynn. I am 28 yrs. old and have been babysitting & teaching kids for 12 yrs. I had my first child last yr. He just turned 1yr. old. I am looking to babysit/educate a child that is 1 yr old also, so that my son can start interacting more with a child his age. I would be available Mon-Fri 6am-2pm. I have lots of great references. I have also worked for little prospectors daycare for a short period of time when my son was first born, but just wasn't quite ready to be away from my son yet. I have helped home school children with learning disabilities. I am friendly and love being around kids. I am teaching my son new things every day and would love for someone else's child to benefit from this, that may not be getting the time to educate their little one as much as they'd like too. I would provide snacks, pb&j's, fruits and veggies, etc... If you feel I'd be a good match for you and your child and/or have any questions you can call/text me any time at (480)-652-3943. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great week!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my profile. My name is Nicole and I am a single mother to a preschool aged daughter, and for about the last three years I have been blessed to stay home with my daughter by caring for other young children in my home. As time goes on children grow and move on to the next stages in life, so I am currently looking for a couple of families to support by providing a home learning environment away from home. I am not a certified teacher but have learned the importance of having a childlike spirit to connect with children in various ways. At the same time providing a consistent rhythm of the day that consists of circle time, free play, nature walks, cooking, life skills and chores, hygiene, verbal story time and verses, and incorporate relevant field trips at the end of the week. What inspires me to continue to provide childcare is the opportunity to give young children an organic childhood experience. I have adopted both Montessori and natured based principles to offer a balance to every day life to allow children to explore at their own will. Nothing is ever forced and options to choose are always given, even with mealtime. Meals are freshly homemade and consist of mainly organic and gluten free ingredients and juices are only freshly pressed. If you are looking for a safe faith based environment in a gated community, with a park to explore with learning toys galore I'd love to speak with you to answer any questions you may have and to learn about your family to see if we would be a great match! **NEW** Soccer Skill classes are available in community park **Before and After care is available for discussion. (Home is insured for Childcare)

CLOSED DURING SUMMERS AND OTHER SCHOOL BREAKS--- If you are a teacher or work for a school district, we may be a great fit! As both a childcare provider, and a mother who has previously worked outside the home myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to have a dependable, qualified childcare provider that loves your child as you do, and treats them as their own! There's nothing better than getting a picture text message during the day to see the fun your child is having, or a daily written summary of your child's moods, eating habits, and activities, and knowing that they are well taken care of in your absence. Good communication between the parent and provider helps make sure all parties are happy, especially your little one. I understand the dynamic of being a working mother and would love to get to know your child to see if my family childcare would be a good fit! Just as I take my own children to the park, story-time at the library, and playgroup, I would consider your child a member of the family while at our home, and expected to join in on the fun! I respect individual parenting styles, communicate well about routines and preferences, understand the seriousness of food allergies, teach preschool objectives while playing, such as colors, numbers, patterns, and sight words. I also enjoy sharing my musical talents of singing and playing the piano with children. The kids also love to help with the vegetable garden, which gets them excited about eating healthy! As a college graduate with a Psychology degree, I have taken courses in child development, behavior theories, and parenting styles, etc. Your child will be played with, talked to, well-fed, sung to and loved! He or she will have fun friends to play with all day, and will have a variety of fun experiences with myself and our daycare friends while you work hard for your family each day! I am both infant and adult CPR certified and First Aid certified through September, 2025. I am also a registered childcare provider with the Arizona Resource and Referral organization. Several recommendations of my childcare skills can be provided at your request. My home and yard are clean and safe. There are plenty of toys and activities to share. No swimming pool. We try to practice kindness, friendship, helpfulness, and respect in our home! Crossroads are off the 202, at Ellsworth and Guadalupe. I look forward to meeting you and your child!

In 2012, our family moved to AZ from Minnesota where I began a licensed daycare in 2003. I have my Bachelor of Arts degree in Children's Ministry. We have 4 children of our own but all school age. I only take four kids (babies to pre-k) during the day as to keep the quality of care really high. Our home is structured but also laid back and calm. Every child is a unique gift from God and we treat them that way. We love to laugh and be silly. We currently have a clean, comfortable home in the Groves at Barney Farms (Queen Creek and Signal Butte), which is an amazing environment for your child to play, learn, and grow with lots to do outside. I know many daycares don't have openings for infants. I would love to care for your baby. I have a lot of experience with helping infants and toddlers establish good routines for eating and sleeping and helping little ones overcome separation anxiety, etc. It all starts with a LOT of love!

I offer a Christian based setting and my goals are to provide a safe and happy place for children where they can learn and grow at their own pace. I believe children learn through play and benefit from a structured, yet flexible schedule. Children will be taught to respect each other, adults, pet, and property. My goal is to teach your child to communicate, negotiate, problem solve and get along. If he/she can learn these skills, then the rest will happen. Every day I offer your child the opportunity to play with puzzles, games, art materials, play dough, books, music, language and science to support the learning process. If this is the way you would like your child to play and learn then this is the place for you. I support their play by providing them with the necessary language so they learn to express themselves appropriately and to become a positive addition to society. We do crafts and have a preschool program for children to be prepared to start school upon graduation of daycare.

Hi! I'm Nicole. I am 25 years old and I am a mother to two wonderful children, a beautiful 4 1/2 year old little girl (who will be in preschool) and a sweet 20 month old little boy. I have been a nanny for the past five years on and off with children ranging from 2 weeks old to 13 years old. I was a hair stylist before I had my children but decided to choose to be a nanny full-time so that I would be able to be home more. My availability is full or part time and any days Monday - Friday. I am located in east Mesa off the 202 San Tan freeway. I am experienced and very comfortable caring for multiple children. My daughter plays so well with others and is very sweet and kind. She is used to having children to play with and is looking forward to new friends. I am very patient, dependable, loving, energetic and fun! WE love to do crafts, play outside in my kid friendly and gated back yard, walk to the park that is in my neighborhood and play games when we are indoors. I love child care and take real joy helping them grow and learn. I would love the opportunity to care for your child/ children. I am CPR and First aid certified and I am very willing to do a background check and will provide references from my past employers. I have a valid Arizona driver's license with a clean driving record. I will prepare healthy meals and snacks, and provide fun & new activities for the kids. Thank you for your time and I hope to talk to you soon, Nicole.

Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Apache Junction, AZ.
