Why Childcare?

I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, but that just wasn’t in the plan for us.  After working outside the home for a while a good friend asked if I could care for their new son a couple of hours a day.  Soon, this grew into a full-time position  This same friend suggested that I become a licensed childcare provider.  After giving it some thought, I went ahead did it.  What began as a favor for a friend turned into a rewarding career!   

The trainings I took helped me to realize that being a childcare provider was more than just a babysitting service.  These are the most impressionable years in a child’s life!  This has led me to hours of continuing education each year to be sure that I am fully equipped to provide the families in my care with the highest quality of care that I can.
