I have cared for children from the ages 5 days-10 years. I have a very high tolerance for children and I have the spirit of a child. I love to play educational games to help develop the mind and coordination, but I also enjoy watching the children outside having the time of their lives. Spending time with children couldn't be more of a blessing. I am very easy to get along with and I am very kind and caring. Some people refer to me as "The Mother Hen". Children have minds like sponges they absorb everything and as long as I am putting good in there is no room for bad. Playtime, nap time, or snacktime there is always a way to have fun, learn, and relax.
