Find experienced child care providers in Stanwood, MI

Hello, my name is Clara and I have taken care of children for over 40 years now and love it. I am currently with a very loving family now. They are having their second child and the mom just told me she is quitting her job to stay home with the kids. They want to still keep me but, my hours will be cut. I have been with them 3 years in April and love the little girl like my granddaughter. I have worked in a daycare center where I took care of four infants at a time loved every minute of it. I fed them, read to them, sang to them, played with them, took them outside, and saw to whatever their needs were to be done. I worked with special needs children. I helped teach one sign language so he could speak to us. I worked for them for 3 years. I only left because they divorced and the mom could not afford to pay me anymore. I worked for another couple who had 4 kids 4 dogs plus I helped clean the house. I worked there for 41/2 years. I drove their kids all over for their extracurricular activities. They will give me a great review or reference, so will the people I am with currently. I enjoy taking the kids outside, to the parks, cooking with them, doing crafts with them, playing with them, and just plain having fun. Thank you for your time.
