Meet Ardis
- Comfortable with pets

I've always been fortunate to have cared for children in some way, as a paid employee, mom, favorite neighbor, Aunti. I'm experienced in caring for children of all ages including children with special needs and infants. I've worked with families who have chosen traditional, alternative, and culturally influenced parenting philosophies. I'm a fan of funny, listening, art, reading, and the amazing world of the big backyard/outdoors. I never did conquer Pre-Calculus and can't ski but I strongly believe in encouraging the "can do" attitude. I strive to be kind, present, dependable and respectful of you and your child. I've completed K-12 Ed courses and Child Infant CPR. My hours of availability may be flexible to meet your schedule. Thanks for viewing my bio.
