I am a recently retired RN. I love children and am raising 2 grandchildren myself (ages 11 and 13). Children love to play at our home and my doors are always open to my grandchildren's friends. I have provided nursing care to both seniors and children previously. I have a large fenced in backyard, swing set, and play house. I have a children's gym downstairs (my grandchildren are gymnasts) as well as a children's crafts room. I have current CPR/First Aid. I am just starting and willing to care for babies, toddlers, small children etc. I do not plan to care for more than four children as I plan to do lots of activities and spend quality time with each child. I plan to provide nutritious, healthy meals and snacks and structured, educational activities. My nursing/psychiatric background has taught me patience and understanding.
