My name is Lois Cleland.  I live in Pasadena, MD.  I am a retired elementary school teacher.  I taught for 36 years for the Baltimore County Public Schools.  I've spent my adult life (and my teenage years) caring for children.  I have one step-daughter who is now an adult.  I have many nieces and nephews and even two great nieces.  I've spent many hours caring for them through the years.  I understand the need for children to have a variety of experiences ranging from outside play to quiet reading time.  I love to nuture childrens' natural imagination and compassion.  I work with a local dog rescue group, the Potomac Cairn Terrier Club Rescue.  I am the Maryland coordinator and I provide a foster home for dogs waiting to be adopted.  I have two cairn terriers of my own.  I've been a dog owner for about 30 years.  I am an Read more animal lover and am very comfortable cairng for them.  I have cared for children ranging in age from newborn to age 12.  When I was a teacher I taught elementary school music.  I taught all the children in the entire school.  It was wonderful working with such diverse age groups.  I found it invigorating, challenging and FUN.  To me, children are the most intersting people out there!

Lois was wonderful with my kids. They loved her and I'll call her again. She listened to my needs and concerns and was respectful of them. Most of all she enjoyed and appreciated being with my kids.
