Hope's Haven

Hi. I'm a licensed childcare provider in Waterford, Michigan. I am also a mother to a 10 year son and 2 year old daughter. This is my first time doing childcare from my home but not my first experience in the profession. I've previously worked at both an in home setting as well as a large childcare center. My mother ran in home childcare in our home while I was growing up. I am the oldest of 6 children. I am 34 years old and my young adult life until present has been dedicated to the care of others. For the well majority of the time I've worked caring for adults with physical, emotional, and/or mental disabilities. I feel very proud being able to be of service, to help individuals learn and grow and accomplish goals they may not be able to reach alone. I have given up my career to raise my young daughter as I wasn't financially able to with my son.
I've followed all necessary steps to become a licensed provider through the State of Michigan. I am MORC, Recipient Rights, CPR, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens and Infant Safe Sleep trained. The State encourages furthering our training and many of these courses are now online and I intend not only to do these but others.

My home is kept safe, sanitary, neat and organized. I have a large fenced in backyard with no safety risks to children. No pool or animals. We have many different types of toys for educational, creative, and imaginary play. Open floor space for room to play. Age appropriate books for reading and an abundance of art supplies. Our collection will certainly grow as my business grows and I get a sense of the children's likes and dislikes. I encourage to set aside some time to meet with me, tour my home, ask as many questions as you feel necessary. As a parent, I would do the same. My hours of availability will be Monday-Friday 6:45am-5:45 pm.
