I am a mom of two grown children. I have a degree in Child Development. I have more then 40 years experience working with children. I have worked in Day Care Centers as well as in home. I have worked in the church nursery for many years. I have experience with newborns through Pre-K. I love children, I will play dolls or cars, go to the park and library. I am certified in Infant CPR. My husband and I currently live in Texas, but will be moving to Mattoon in late October.
