| Hello! I wanted to give you a bit of background about myself. I am married to my husband Tim, with whom I have 2 adorable little children. My son Jalen, is 4 and my daughter Dominique is now 3. I grew up in the small town of Danville PA, about an hour north of Harrisburg. After graduating high school, I went to the University of Pittsburgh and majored in chemistry. I went there for 2 years and did one year at Bloomsburg University. It was then that I realized I needed a new experience in my life and decided to join the army. A year after graduating from basic training, I met my husband. I missed out going to Iraq with our unit because I was then pregnant with Jalen. Shortly after his birth I was pregnant with Dominique. Six months into my pregnancy with her, Tim was deployed to Cuba for a year. That entire time he was gone, my strength was tested as a mother and I believe I handled it with great success. Within that year I had given birth, took care of two infants, bought our home, worked full time, and completed my study-at-home course I was taking for childcare management. When Tim finally came home, I decided to quit my job after five years to stay at home and pursue my real dream of having my own daycare. I believe it was the best decision career wise that I have ever made thus far. We put many man hours into preparing our home for the daycare and I thank Tim for everything he has done to help me. He has been so supportive of my decision and I wouldn't have been able to do all of this without him. Since then I've put everything into my daycare. After getting licenced by the state, I got started on advertising and the rest is history. I work constantly to put new lesson plans together for the kids and I am continually planning new activities to keep them all learning and having fun! |
