I am a mother of two girls who has cared for children ages newborn to 15 over the years. The girls and I love to spend time outdoors, we enjoy fishing, horseback riding, and soccer. We also love crafting for over 15 years off and on. I have been a caregiver for children of all ages boys and girls full-time, part-time and before/after school care. I enjoy caring for children and feel it is important for them to be in an environment that promotes creativity and learning while having fun. The children I have kept in the past have enjoyed many activities, various arts and crafts, games, outside play weather permitting, and my school age kids have 1 hour of summer study time which involves 30 minutes of reading followed by 30 minutes of a workbook for their grade level. I am big on healthy eating. My morning snack is always a fruit and the child's choice of milk, juice, or water. Lunch is always a sandwich or a homemade hot meal (example macaroni and cheese with chicken and broccoli). The afternoon snack is a choice again fruit, yogurt, or veggies and dip. We will have "Fun Fridays" where we will have cookies or ice cream for our afternoon snack.
