Shannon Karcher

I offer in-home child care services for children of all ages. I'm a stay at home mother of a kindergartner. I strive to provide the same care that I wanted for my son when I was working. Not only am I dependable, I treat the children like part of my family, and I'm affordable. I encourage play- meaning no sitting in front of the tv and other electronics all day long! There is plenty to do- books, toys, and games. My home is in a quiet county setting, so the kids get to go outside as much as they want. We occasionally do a special craft or project, and sometimes we take small trips to the park or similar places. My home is clean, safe, and non-smoking. Before I decided to become a stay at home mother, I worked for the same employer for 16 years. While that job wasn't in childcare, I have been around children my whole life. I am currently working on my Bachelors degree in Psychology, and focusing primarily on children. I do not run a large child care center. Since it's just myself, I limit the amount of children to 5 (and that includes my own son). I am fairly flexible with times, and days. I am also flexible with making nutritious food/snacks, or you can bring your own if you prefer. I am also an animal lover, so we have friendly dogs, cats, a rabbit, and lots of chickens!
