I am a licensed foster parent with extensive training in child development, safety and first aid. CPR certified. Expansive background check has been completed for my licensing. I love kids and enjoy being active with children that I'm taking care of. I always treat them as if they were mine! We go to parks, walking, play ball, do art projects (I am an artist!), check out museums, the zoo & love to swim! I have a 22-year-old son and did childcare for over 10 years while he was younger as well as spent my teen years babysitting and teaching art day camps in the summers. I have spent the last 10 years managing healthcare facilities and have recently stepped down to adopt 4 boys. We have a beautiful 5000 sq ft home with a fenced backyard and tons of room to play! The home is complete with a rec room Read more and swimming pool and has safety features throughout for DCS/state compliance for foster parents. I can host your child at my home for a fun day or evening or I can come to you!
