Here I am! I am 34 years old. I love kids, music and I would have to say dance parties are my favorite activity with the kids! My mission is to provide the quality of childcare that I always wanted for Charlotte when I was working. Fun, loose structure, predictability for her, safety and I always wanted a place I felt safe leaving her at. Where I knew she was a priority. That is what I strive for every day! My background is in care giving, case management and behavioral specialist with adults with developmental disabilities. I previously ran a successful daycare in Eugene, Oregon and have immaculate references upon request. I am CPR certified, I believe in positive redirection (no spanking), time away, deep breathing, and encouragement to use our "big people words" to explain what is making us feel bad or act out.
