I have been caring for children in our home since our oldest son was born in September 1997. I have cared for wonderful children and have watched them all grow and learn so many things while in my care. I grew up on the south side of Milwaukee, and when I graduated high school, I pursued the Child Care Field, and enrolled at Milwaukee Area Technical College.  I started working with a Child Care center that was being run by my Church.  I thoroughly enjoyed spending most of my days teaching young children and working with their parents to help the children develop to the best of their abilities.  I successfully completed the classes of Child Care Teacher I, Child Care Teacher II, and Child Care Director, which made me a "Certified Child Care Teacher" in the state of Wisconsin. I enjoyed working at the Child Care Center, teaching with some wonderful people and moving from Assistant Teacher for 4 and 5 year olds to the Head teacher for 2 and 3 year olds.  After 5 years of loving my job the center had to sadly close their doors.  It was a very hard time for me after caring for some of those children for 5 years, 8 hours a day, and before and after school.   When the Child Care closed, I wondered how I would like a job in the clerical field after I had studied that field while in high school.  I pursued the idea and went to work for DHL Worlwide Express for 7 years in their Customer Service department.  Working with customers, drivers, and the sales department to have shipments picked up, travel through customs, and get them delivered to their recipients in a timely manner. At DHL, it was very exciting working with personal resident shipments, and high corporate accounts to help their shipments move through customs, in all countries and speak to people from all over the world.  It was a Wonderful experience.    Shane and I were married in April of 1996 and I decided to take some time off for myself and take care of things at home. While I loved making a nice home for us, and thinking of starting our family, I was still very interested in the Child Care field.  During my time off I studied up on Child Care, took another class for, "Infant and Toddler Care", and checked into starting my own In-home Family Child Care. While refreshing myself with teaching young children and did, what seems like tons of research on starting my own Child Care busniness.  When I became pregnant, the idea of running a business while being able to care for my own child was the perfect way for me to go. Three of the many things I pride myself in about running a Child Care is "Lots of Patience", "Being Very Organized", and most importantly: "One on One Loving Attention with all the Children".    "I Love spending time with children and helping them learn about life, growing up, and all the fun that goes along with those experiences."

I can remember back to as young as the age of 9 watching my 2 year old neighbor and having so much fun.  I now have raised my own two children and realize how rewarding it is to nurture them into the confident and understanding children they are.  I have done this through having good self esteem, patience, and being attentive.  I feel I am qualified and open minded to share my knowledge respectfully with the children in Kaye's House Child Care.  For the past years while raising my 2 children, I have used my time dependably with an energetic and approachable attitude with all of the children. For my education I have successfully completed Early Childhood I, which qualifies me to be an Assitant Child Care Teacher at Kaye's House, and I will be enrolling in more classes as time goes on.  My personal interests as being a parent and involved with working at Kaye's House Child Care reflect my creative artistic nature which helps the children experience not only colors, but sight, sound, and texture. I believe my understading and energetic attitude qualifies me to care for the children and make them feel safe and secure while having fun.  "Every Adult Needs A Child To Teach, It's The Way Adults Learn" (Anonymous)
