I am an honest friendly mom of 5 grown sons . I was a nanny when I was younger before I had children of my own. I'm certified foster mom and have a daycare in my home. I am cpr and first aid certified . I love out doors activities as well as indoor games and crafts. I love to teach children things from baking to gardening or fishing. I love to read stories as well as sing songs with them while playing guitar. I've worked in private schools as art teacher gym teacher and playground monitor. Now that my children are grown I've decided to open a daycare in my home to be able to continue working with and enjoying children around again.I have plenty of room inside and outside for kids to run and play .my house is on a dirt road in the country that's not traveled Read more by a lot of cars. I also have a small hobby farm that's fenced off from the daycare area that we may sometimes use as a field trip on occasion with permission from parents.
