6th Havana Aurora, CO

Currently I offer babysitting out of my home. I recently made great changes to my place to make sure the environment your child is in is fun as well as safe. I do offer a daily schedule and I try my best to operate as a daycare, although I am always trying new things to see how my parents and children adjust to make it most convenient and comfortable for them! I love to teach and care for children of any age. I do have 7 of my own which are here as well but they are all in school full time so they may be here in the a.m. during drop off or afternoon for pick up. I will definitely have everyone meet so you know who will be around your children. My main purpose is to help parents by giving their children a fun, safe, loving, caring environment to be in while the parents are working! I also enjoy taking them on field trips such as museums, parks, swimming, zoo, amusement parks, and any other fun places we can find that's weather appropriate if need be! If interested please feel free to reach out through text or call. I do provide daily meals as well and snacks! Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for reading my profile!
