I like to think of myself as the "mom away from mom". Kids need to feel that they belong. My job is to be the person that gives them that place. I'm a little older than your average provider, perhaps a little wiser. I've raised 3 great kids of my own, so I have a vague idea of what I'm doing, but I keep up with all current health and safety issues such as feeding, carseats, back sleeping, and will often be stricter about them than you! I love what I do, and the babies feel it and respond to it. I respect the family dynamic and expect to work as part of a team in the best interest of the child. I prefer long term relationships. I work in my home only. I maintain an open door policy for parents/family members. Visit or call any time. When your child Read more is here, this is your home too. Disregard rates below. They are required on form. I charge weekly, not hourly.
