Hi parents! I have over 25 years of experience with all ages. I just finished 9 years of special needs foster care. I also have experience from being a therapeutic foster parent, volunteering in a head-start program, working in a daycare, elementary and middle schools and being a nanny. Honestly, being a single mom to my 2.5 year old son has taught me more than anything else. I am very responsible and dependable. I enjoy teaching children new things. I practice gentle/conscience parenting/childcare, and believe children should be shown the right way and taught about their emotions and not punished for making mistakes. I believe children are doing the best they can at their stage of development. I’m able to keep kids in my house in downtown Canton. We have a playroom, extra place to sleep and nice big yard. I’m also available to come to your house but my 2.5 Read more year old would most likely need to come with me. He loves all kids!
