A little bit about me

I have raised 3children. I have worked in daycare settings and have provided childcare services. I love keeping kids engaged through play, crafts, and new adventure, using their minds & imagination making mundane daily task or activity more fun & interesting. I believe there needs to be a balance between a child occupying themselves, engagement with other children, as well as adults where they will learn social etiquette a”& norms, sharing, respect as well as respecting and loving themselves and those around them I enjoy working with all age groups. Each child is unique and special in their own right and they should be nurtured and encouraged to be who they are and to use their talents and abilities to the best of their abilities. If given the opportunity I know that I can keep your child content & safe and set your mind at ease, knowing while you are away, you have confident knowing they are in good hands and will be well taken care of
