I am a trusted caregiver, whom has cared for many children. I provide a fun, creative environment for your child to enjoy his/her day.I love to teach, and feel it is important to always lead by example, Children look to adults for examples of kindness,sharing and positive behavior. I really have a great time caring for children of all ages. I am aware of their stages of development, and get the biggest kick out of seeing the excitement on their face when the accomplish something new. I cook as organically as possible, and currently cook for a child with food allergies. Most importantly, I understand the importance of communication between myself and you as a parent, I am a big note taker, and I will keep you informed on your children's day. I think it is important to keep your home neat and tidy. Thank-You. Lynne

Hello, My name is Sholonda. I have 19 years of hands-on childcare experience, including the past 14 years supporting elementary students as an Instructional Assistant and before that, 5 years working in early childhood education in a preschool setting. I currently work for the Wentzville School District as an Instructional Assistant supporting elementary-aged children, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, guiding behavior positively, and keeping kids engaged, safe, and supported. I also have experience with date nights and overnight care, and I can provide strong references. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring a calm, reliable presence into every home. I love adding creativity to childcare and offer optional fun themed weekly activities—like arts & crafts, simple cooking, creative writing and taking trips to finish out the themed week (ex: taking a trip to the zoo, etc) with your permission of course. I provide the supplies for our projects; families just need to have a flat workspace (great for watercolor painting and crafts) and access to basics like a kitchen when needed. I’d love to support your family! Please note my availability:*** I’ll be working summer school in June from 8am–12pm, but I’m available after that for camp pick-ups and evening care. In July and August, I’m available for full-day care, including camp drop-offs and pick-ups if needed.***
