Hello, I ran my own daycare in Palm Springs California, for five years (1996 - 2001) before moving back to Oregon. I was licensed by the State of California, and had a federal background check. I took many extra classes during the five years I had my daycare open, to enrich the children with new items/ideas. I worked with the State food program to serve nutritious meals and did monthly meal plans. I served three meals and two snacks per day. I was licensed for up to 8-10 children depending on the age groups. I took care of 8 weeks old to 13 years old with many being siblings. I would like to work as a Babysitter now, due to my home being too small to have a day care in it. I have raised three children of my own, which are adults now. My youngest child is 20 and Read more has just gone to College this year in Portland. I love working with children and have four grandchildren I love to visit. I have a very reliable car; it is a Toyota 4 runner and seats five nicely. I have lived in Grants Pass for sixteen years, and I was born in Portland. I am very active and love to go to the park and to do outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and short field trips. Love animals of all kinds. Thank you in advance for your time, I look forward to hearing from you
