About Me:
CPR/First Aid Certification
Driver’s License
Background Checked
Have owned an in-home daycare for 11 years
20 years of childcare experience as a babysitter, mother’s helper, daycare worker, church nursery, younger cousins, nieces and nephews, and daycare owner.
Experience with ages 6 weeks to 12 years old.
Dozens of references.
Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Disorders from Truman State University (Intro to Speech Pathology or Audiology Degrees).
Due to my degree, I employ specific language development techniques to encourage and speed language development and help children meet and exceed milestones.
I have experience working with children with ADHD, autism, ODD, high IQ, and cerebral palsy (including feeding tube experience and diaper changing beyond typical ages).
I am a strong Christian who can incorporate prayer, bible stories, and faith aspects into everyday life if desired, but I can also respect your beliefs if desired as well. Overall, I’m a very liberal Christian, so I am an LGBTQIA+ friendly individual and wouldn’t have any qualms about serving a family who fits under that umbrella.
I am trauma-informed as a result of my experience with children from trauma, training to handle children from trauma (Empowered to Connect), and years of extensive therapy from my own childhood trauma.
Available for: Educational In-home daycare at my house including homeschool help for ages 2-12 years. Full-Time, Part-Time, and Drop-In schedules welcome!

Daycare/Co-op (in my home): $5.50/hour
