  About Me
 
I am an out-going, active, loving mom of 2 (with one on the way), and enjoy spending time outdoors, going different places, (Zoo, museums, the lake, etc), anything to keep kids busy and entertained. My kids love doing outdoor activities and if it's nice outside, we'll usually be outdoors. I am funny, smart, educated, loyal, and have an excellent personality. I believe kids should be seen AND heard. Kids will NEVER be bored here especially with my 2 kids. I am trust worthy and you never have to worry about your kids with me. I am very watchful as a mother. All in all, I am the one you can know your child is TRULY safe with. ) I provide all meals and snacks, no extra charge, and I will get permission from parents before taking their kids outdoors anywhere. )Love kids. If it's nice outside, we go to the zoo, parks, etc. with parents permission of course. I like to keep the kids outdoors because they're so full of energy, but I do sit outside with them and watch them. I also enjoy kickball, and keeping kids active while learning. When it's cold outside, the kids stay inside and do arts and crafts and creative things. )
