My childcare encompasses all age groups in addition to raising 3 sons. I am a former Big Sister and have volunteered for Toys For Tots, food banks, along with donating to women's shelters. I am responsible, reliable, good natured, patient, and even tempered. I enjoy spending time with children and to engage them in arts & crafts, board games, and learning. I taught my youngest son the alphabet and numbers using Play-Doh sets. It was fun and challenging! I also enjoy taking children to parks, amusements, aquariums, farms, movies and the backyard in search of butterflies and fireflies. I've even trampled even in the muck and yuck in search of fiddler crabs. It's also fun to bake cookies and such with the help of my little assistants. I believe it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling, and enriched environment. I had my background check completed less than a month ago and I can provide potential employers with a copy.
