I have been caring for children for over 20 years in many different settings, including a nanny and in a child care center. After having my first child, in 2003, I decided to stay home and open my own child care. I now have 2 grown children of my own. I am a member of Olmsted county child care association, Family Child Care Inc. (FCCI). I served on the FCCI board of directors for 15 years. I am always taking trainings to improve the quality of care that I provide to the children. I was awarded Olmsted County Provider of the Year for 2014. In my spare time I like to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding snowmobile, boating, riding motorcycle, riding ATV trails, gardening, and, camping!
