I am a mother of 4 with over 30 years of experience caring for my own children plus grandchildren. I have gone through a protection of children/virtus training and have to have frequent background checks with that. I am a loving caregiver that will also get in the floor to play with your kids. I love to take them outside for fresh air and am excellent when it comes to getting them on a nap schedule.
