I am a stay at home mom of 4, homeschooling both my school aged children. Ages 12, 6, 20 months and 19 weeks. I have over 20 years of childcare and daycare experience. My first child care job was at 10 years old babysitting infants and toddlers in children's church. I also babysat for church members in their homes. From there I helped raise my brothers 2 eldest children. My first "taxes paid" position was working for the YMCA Day Camp as a day camp leader, where I was in charge of 20 + children, with activities ranging from song time, science projects, drama skits, swimming, field trips and other summer activities.
