I'm a very small childcare that likes to have a small intimate environment so i can give more one on one attention. my preference is no more then 5 children enrolled at the same time. The smaller the more educational and more tight bonding with the children and parents. All families enrolled become my family.

​

When I was in my early 20's with my 2 boys I had a hard time finding quality childcare in my area. I decided to stay home with my children and get licensed to watch children. This was back in 1999

I knew I wanted to work with children when I was just a child. My mother was a school Teacher who has retired from Mt. Baker school where she taught the developed mentally challenged children age ranges 3- 21. I knew that I also wanted to work with children at a very young age. I was Born and raised here in Bellingham/Whatcom County area. I love Bellingham, being outdoors is so therapeutic. I also love the people in the community, sense  we are a small town we tend to be more inviting and welcoming. I love my town.

I have 2 Grown boys, Bryce is in his 30's who is in the space force presently, stationed in Colorado and is Married to his high school sweetheart and they have 2 children (my grand babies)
Tanner is in his 20's and is in the air force.

They live in other states so it is hard on me to not see them as much as I want. there is face-time, which immensely helps the situation. I normally see them 2 times per year, they come for a visit and I go visit as well.

Having grandchildren is one of the most precious gifts. I'm extremely blessed.

Aaron is My Husband, I've known Aaron since I was 15 years old. Aaron Builds modular modern Homes for Method construction that gets shipped out to other states, he recently worked on a few homes that were built for Brad Pitts Foundation. That was a wonderful opportunity  that he was involved with. He also Builds Guitars in his leisure time. He creates  beautiful, beautiful musical art using rare woods from around the world.

I have been working with Children for over 30 years and Licensed for 25+ years. I graduated in 2006 with my AA in Child Development. In 2008 we remodeled our Large 2 car garage into an actual facility/childcare With centers and age appropriate educational toys and Room for the children to learn and Grow. This is a dream come true my own Private center! My child care  was made with love for the little ones and is safe, secure and fun and educational.

In my leisure time I hang out with Friends and Aaron my husband who is my very best friend. I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, walking long distances,camping, foraging, my garden/planting, houseplants ,harvesting and drying herbs and making my own herbal teas and beauty products. I am very health conscious and love to grow our own food organically with the children, it's so rewarding seeing them get so involved in planting the seeds, and watering the plants and seeing the magic of the food grow. Their faces light up when they see the plant produces food.

Working with what the EARTH has provided is so rewarding.

I also love to bake and cook everything from scratch. My favorite food to make is Thai food.

​

This is a little bit about me. I love and respect children, I do my best to make sure they develop appropriately. I know i am put on this earth to make a positive difference in all children's lives, and give them 100% of me.

I'm dedicated  to caring for the children with the best possible care i can give. They are my little friends and deserve to flourish and grow to their full potential.
