Shari, childcare professional in 42 Range Road 42

We have our own business which we operate out of our home. Running our business from our home has afforded me the opportunity to be able to be a full time mom which I am very grateful for. I have been a mom for 25 years and have loved it. My daughters are now 25 and 19. I have a way with kids and they always seem to gravitate toward me. I am very loving, snuggly (if the child wants) and education oriented. I am a very hands on parent. I am 52 years old so I have some experience under my belt. My family calls me the baby whisperer as I just have a way with kids. I have no problem looking after little new babies either. I am confident with all ages.

I also have experience with Asperger's Syndrome as my youngest is a high functioning Aspie. I home schooled her Grades 6-12. I try my best to understand each child and where they are coming from. I listen. whether it is something about likes and dislikes, their day, how they are feeling, whether they feel comfortable in a situation, anything and everything. I find that I am very in tune with children.

I am also VERY aware and dealing with food allergies. I am allergic to MSG and oregano, and my oldest has Celiac's disease (severe) so I know how to be careful regarding what children eat and making sure there is no cross contamination. I read all labels every time to make sure there are no related allergens in any and all food that is prepared.

I have no problem with dogs as I have a huge fur baby myself. I treat him like I treat my kids.. spoiled and much loved.

I am available for full time daytime hours Monday through Friday. We live on an acreage outside of Kitscoty, so I am available for Kitscoty and area, Lloydminster, as well as Vermilion. I am open to having kids brought to my house if that is what you prefer. Your home or my home, either way works for me.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
