A little bit about me

I love to love. Teaching, caring for, encouraging and empowering children to be the best that they can be is my passion. I have worked with kids my whole life from being a "babysitter" while I was a youth to running my own in-home daycare while my own children were growing up. Now that they are grown and on to school, I would love to have the opportunity to help another family by loving, caring for and tending to your child(rens) needs as well as around the house. I am a firm believer that the "First Five Years" really are the most important years of a child's life, as those are the years that the child learns the basic and essential building blocks for the rest of their life. I would love to have the opportunity to be the next care giver for and to your family!
