I am the mother of a beautiful five year old girl. For the past eight years I've been a kindergarten and english teacher in China. My interest in childcare was fueled after recieving extensive training working at a Gymboree in Shanghai. Now that I have my own child, I moved back to the US in order to put my daughter in school here. Now, I can't imagine a job outside of childcare. I believe that finding the right person to leave your child with is one of the most difficult things you can do as a parent. You're child deserves to be in the care of someone who doesn't just view them as a job, but will be genuinely invested in their well being. As your child's caretaker I will keep them active in interesting activities like, arts and crafts, fun baking activities, and helping them with their school work. Read more I don't believe in just putting on a movie and not staying present with the child. I would love to be a part of your child's routine and look forward to meeting you! :)
