Karen M. Child Care

I specialize in newborns to 3 years of age. I have cared for little ones off and on for over 30 + years. I have taught in our churches primary for ages 18 months to 12 years, for over 25 years. I provided care in a licensed home daycare in CA for 10 yrs. I began providing care in 2014, specializing in ages newborn to 3 years, here in IL.

MISSION STATEMENT: It is my intention to provide your child with the love and care you would give yourself. Your child's happiness, ability to thrive, grow and experience the joys of life are what I will strive to provide. I will provide a program of learning, to help your child grow. I will provide nurturing care for your child's safety. I will provide love, compassion, and hugs for your child's security.

I am CPR and Advanced First Aid and Early Childhood Development trained. I provide weekly receipts and year-end tax accounting.

I enjoy spending my time nurturing and caring for little ones. I also am the mother of 2 fine sons and have 6 amazing grandchildren. (All living in other states.)

I would like nothing more than to care for your precious child in my home. I send pictures and texts to parents during the day to keep them updated on their little ones.

I limit enrollment to 1 or 2 for that special one-on-one caring time. I will provide professional, loving, safe care for your child. We will read stories, sing songs, and play age-appropriate games. I will provide well-rounded, nurturing learning experiences. I am considered by my peers and parents to be a responsible, trustworthy, loving, and a caring person. (Rocking and hugging included.) We do ABCs, Phonics, Colors, Shapes, Spatial Relationships, Manners, Social Interaction and more with lots of love.

I have a lovely 4-bedroom ranch with a (privacy) fenced-in backyard. Our home is non-smoking, non-pet, and non-alcohol. I have age appropriate outdoor toys for good weather.

I can answer your questions, set up a meeting and put you at ease. I will provide reference phone numbers upon request. Thank you for your time.
