Since I provide occasional care our day is very informal. We will play with a variety of toys. We will sing songs, dance and be silly. Weather permitting we may go outside to play, either on the enclosed deck, on the backyard play structure, or at the park kiddy corner from our house just off the walking path. I always have my cell phone with me so you can contact me at any time. I also accept text messages. I do not transport kids in a vehicle. I do not do pools either. We may play with play-doh, washable paints and markers, so please dress accordingly.
I will write up a summary of your childs stay with us, including feedings, snacks, changes, and what we did.
Your child is welcome to have meals with us. Please inform me of any allergies, likes and dislikes. Samantha is a snacker and we have plenty to share.
I am very accomodating. I will work with you within your comfort level.
My husband is usually around and available to assist with our children so I can focus on your child(ren). I will be taking care of your child, not my husband. Normally, he is working on a project outside or in the garage so the kids and I are typically playing alone.
I don't believe in physical punishment (spanking). I do use the warning system, 1 is a warning, 2 is a second warning, 3 is a time out or toy taken away. I always like to sit down with my kids to try to explain what good choices and behavior are.
Thanks for visiting my webpage. I hope it brings you the information you need to make a decision about your child's care.
My name is Jeana (pronounced Gina). I am in my mid-thirties and I have been married for 9 years. I have two kids: Samantha who is 4 years old and Alex who was born in May 2012.
I work full-time, Monday through Friday at Dungarvin Minnesota as an admin assistant. I'm also an independent Thirty-One Consultant.
I know first hand how hard it is to find good childcare. Since my daughter was born I have considered doing in home daycare. I have begun taking classes and am SIDS, Shaken Baby, first aid and CPR certified. For now I plan to do some evening and weekend babysitting.
Rates are $5/hour per child.
Rates for regular long-term care are negotiable.
