I am a widow of 16 years, with a 22 year old daughter and 16 year old son. I love all kinds of crafts - drawing, chain maille, jewelry making, tole painting, scrapbooking and more.
I think creativity and imagination are two of the most special attributes we can help our children develop. I believe family childcare is an important extension of you & your child’s family. It is important to provide a safe, caring, encouraging environment for a child to grow with self-respect and self-esteem.
