About Valerie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have worked in Child Care for the past 12 years. From August 2014 - June 2023 I had an in home daycare licensed for 6 children. I recently closed my daycare as I needed more flexibility in my schedule to care for my own children. Previous to my daycare I worked as a Nanny from August 2011 - August 2014. For my daycare license I had to keep my CPR First Aid Infant/Child certification updated. I also had to do 10 hours per year of relevant trainings. For a license you have to have extensive background checks, fingerprinting and stay up to do with vaccinations. My experience as a Child Care Provider has used my natural gifts of caring for children. I enjoy talking with the children and helping them to grow into intelligent, kind and fun children. I have cared for 13 infants during my time as a daycare provider. I had 5 children that started care with me as infants and stayed with me all the way up to school age.
