A little bit about me:
*My husband and I have been married for 9 years and we have 2 beautiful children. Our son was born in October 2008 and our daughter was born in October 2010. Ever since becoming a mother it has been my number one priority to spend as much time with them as possible. I was employed with Mayo Clinic for many years and have been a stay-at-home mom since October 2009. I feel that being a stay-at-home mom and a child care provider allows me to be with my children every day, and also provides a service to other families in need.
I am a Family Child Care Provider, licensed by the state of Minnesota through Olmsted County. A copy of my licensing rule can be obtained from the agency or you may view my copy. I have a class C2 license. I am licensed to provide care for a total of 12 children, with 10 under school age, no more than 2 shall be infants/toddlers and no more than 1 shall be an infant. I have been certified in CPR & First Aid and have also been trained in SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome.
I have been doing family childcare since March 2011. I participate in the Minnesota Food Program, so nutritious, well balanced meals and snacks for your child are guaranteed.
