Sarah's Side Kicks

I am number 6 of 14 children. I have been in the diaper changing business since grade school! Being in the midst of many children is where my comfort is. I have four children of my own. I started doing child care after my first was born. I have been doing it for almost 9 years now. I started off being an assistant for an in home licensed provider. Us both being military, she moved away then I took in as many of her children as I could without getting licensed, knowing we would be moving within a couple years as well. It was after working for her that I knew this is what I wanted to do while raising my kids. My husband now works for the guard so we will no longer be moving our family around! We had our house built. Since we've moved in we've been working on getting it licensed ready, such as building a fence and finishing the basement, etc.
We've already accumulated a fun group of kids into our home before receiving my license. Now I am able to receive your fun kids into my care as well! I keep a ridged schedule. I feel in helps kids with stability and predictability. I have a 15 passenger van. We go on summer outings everyday. I transport children to and from school, preschool and other extra activities. In being licensed, we, of course keep a state approved menu for the children. After school snacks we do homework (unless you prefer to have your child do it at home. In that case I would have your child read until homework time was over).
Working isn't something I need to do financially. I am blessed to be able to live off of my husband's income, but work is something I need to do mentally. I am happier when I am busy at work. That being said I won't be taking in a number of children that would make me lose my mind. I won't keep a child in care that would be causing distress to the remainder of the program as well. We are all about have a fun loving, welcoming, and progressing atmosphere! If you have any questions or concerns email me for more information at sarahstones83@gmail.com
