Hi parents! I’m April! I am a mature and experienced lady with a passion for providing quality care for children and support for their families. My approach is centered around fostering creativity, independence, and a love for learning! I taught Special Education for over 25 years, during which time I had the privilege of working with children of all ages, each with their own unique personalities, skills, abilities, and needs. My experience has given me the skills needed to provide children with quality care, supervision, and enrichment in the home. I excel at establishing and following a routine, engaging children through games, arts & crafts, and imaginative play, and tutoring and school support. I love animals and am happy to care for any and all pets as well! While in your home, I am happy to assist with meal prep, light housekeeping, errands, or helping with other duties or tasks Read more you may need. I will ensure your children are in safe hands, while providing a fun and stimulating environment.
