My Childcare journey began after the birth of my 7th child in Dec. of 1994. I decided that I do not want to go back to the workforce, so my older child encouraged me to go into childcare,(” mom you have a gang of kids of your own and lots of toys in this big house so why not provide care for other children”). I discussed it with my husband; he agreed and I started my journey.
Two years later he retired from the post office and joined me in the business-here we are 26yrs. Later, we survived the recession, and now the Covid pandemic.
Childcare has been such a wonderful & positive experience in our lives that two of my daughters and my oldest son opened their own childcare facilities, we are still in contact with so so so many families from the past and we are even providing care for children whose parents we kept.
