My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

Hi I’m Maddison! I’m 24 years old and the mom to a 3 month old little boy. I live in the Alton area and I am looking to care for children within my home to allow me to stay with my little one. I have lovingly cooked, cleaned, played with and cared for children of all ages for years now and it is truly a passion of mine! I love to do crafts & learning activities with the children. I also carefully follow parents instructions regarding schedules, discipline, free time, etc. to insure your child/children’s time with me would be no different than their time at home. I’m reliable, hard working and always flexible with scheduling. Overall I strive to treat every child in my care as one of my own and would love the opportunity to help make the childcare process a happy & easy experience for any family I work for!
