Find experienced child care providers in Gifford, IL

Let me start by saying that I am available immediately. I am retired and find I have way too much time on my hands.  I wanted to do something to fill some of the time so I decided I would like to start watching children for people that need a dependable and caring person while they work outside of the home.  I know for a fact that it is a huge relief just knowing when you work outside of the home and you have someone there that is watching over your little ones that is dependable and caring -- that can mean everything.  I have raised 2 daughters and have cared for my 6 grandchildren throughout their years of growing.  When I'm not caring for your children I like to be with my grandchildren as much as possible and go to their sporting events. Spending time with family is very important to me. My preference would probably be to care for children 3 and over. I look forward to being able to come into your home and care for your children while they are in my care. I will do my best to be someone they look forward to seeing when I'm there. .

I grew up in foster care which has given me a passion for helping and a love for children. I do not have children of my own but I hope to one day. I have a reliable car and can transport children, run errands, cook, clean, and much more. I love being outside, reading, watching movies, and baking. I am very adamant that children learn through play. Some things I love to do sensory play, situational play (like playing house or playing shop keeper), and independent play. I look forward to finding a family that fits me!
