I’m seeking a P/T weekday evening assignment from 7-10 PM. The only day I cannot work is Thursday. I am also looking for a few hours on Saturdays (afternoon or evening). I have 35 years of experience working with children. I am a former kindergarten teacher of 27 years. I relocated from Hungary in 2002 and have been a professional childcare giver since that time. I am currently employed full time in Princeton. I fully enjoy my work because I believe there is no substitute for age. Age gives you the wisdom to know what, when, how and why you must do things in order to achieve the right results

I “retired” from the Credit Union industry to stay at home with my daughter who was born in April, 2008.
I am a safe and nurturing person who you can trust with your little ones.
I love children. I treat them with care and respect.
I do not believe in having the television baby-sit ANY child.
I will play, engage, and teach your child(ren).
Music will be a big part of their time with us.
I will help your child(ren) develop a love of books by reading to him or her often.
I also taught Sunday school for three years.

I look forward to meeting with you and your family. I hope that my daughter and I are a good fit for you and your loved ones!
