I have been a licensed Child Care Educator since 2002. I have over 25 years experience with children starting with babysitting jobs as a young teenager and later raising my own children (Michael born 1998 and Cole born 2001). I am a Professional Certified Educator of a Large Family Child Care with the license capacity of 10 children. As a Licensed Educator, I have passed a CORI check and stay in compliance with my Child Care Certification by attending child-related educational workshops year-round. I hold and maintain both First Aide and Child and Infant CPR certification. My home is visited on a regular basis by the EEC to ensure the safety of your children while in my care. As a Large Family Child Care Home, I have a Licensed Assistant on location at all times that there are over six children. A Licensed Assistant is also here if there are over 3 children under the age of two or over three children at any time under the age of 15 months. I believe that parent/provider communication is key to a successful childcare relationship. I provide a healthy, safe and loving home-like environment for all children where they can learn and grow on a daily basis in a peaceful, loving and happy environment.
