I am a former 3rd and 4th grade teacher who taught 11 years, and have been watching mostly teacher's children for the past eight years. I have junior high children of my own and a kindergarten aged daughter.  I am more like Auntie Lena for the children I watch.  I am able to provide the differentiated care that each child needs in order to develop their social and emotional development.  We also attend the nearby library for at least four hours per week, so the children are familiar with computers, library programs and books!  Most transportation provided.  Super flexible, reliable and accomodating.  Never have been sick in 8 years!
