Conference moira::parenting_v3

    My daycare provider has openings for one or two children, maximum of
    one under 2 years of age.  She would prefer full-time.  She has been
    caring for my son (now 17 mos. old) for a year, and doing a wonderful
    job.  
    
    Her name is Robin Coll, and she is located in North Nashua, near
    downtown.  Her phone # is 886-0510.

    I have to change sitters for logistic reasons only, and would love to
    help my sitter find a new one to care for.
    
    She is near the Spitbrook facility, off exit 4.  She is absolutely
    wonderful with children, particularly infants!  She is immaculate,
    organized and extremely loving with the kids.  My daughter and I are
    going to miss her terribly.
    
    She takes in very few children.  I believe there are only 2 part-timers
    now in addition to her 4 year old boy (who goes to pre-school 3
    mornings a week).  She is expecting a baby the end of May, but would
    only need 2-3 weeks off after the birth.  Believe me, if anyone can
    handle her own newborn and someone else's child very successfully, it
    is her.
    
    Please let me know if you are interested in speaking with her.  Her
    rates are very reasonable, and she would consider either full or
    part-time.

    An addendum to .7:
    
    The most ideal situation for this sitter considering her newborn
    arriving the end of May, would be someone who is also pregnant
    now, and needing care beginning sometime in the summer. 
    
    How great to have your quality childcare all arranged while still
    pregnant!

    Since I will be sending my son to pre-kindergarten, my current
    day care provider has an opening for another child.  She is a
    liscensed provider in North Leominster.  Her rates are very
    reasonable.
    
    She has had my son in her care since 12 weeks old (he is 4 1/2 now)
    and has had the other children since they were about 6 weeks old.
    She is loving and caring provider to all the children and I highly
    recommend her.   If you would like to talk off-line about it, feel
    free to call me at DTN 244-6308 or send mail to AKOFIN::COREY.
    
    If you would like to arrange time with her, call...

    My daycare provider will have an opening around the end of April.

    I feel very secure leaving my son with Brenda. She forewarns me when she
    suspects that Daniel is coming down with ear infections so that we have
    been able to get him on medication before they become too bad. She
    calls after doctor's appointments to see how we made out, lets me know
    if Daniel was not "himself" that day, etc, etc. Brenda even calls me if
    he is starting to run a temp., then she will give him tylenol, after
    getting my permission.
    
    These are just some of the reasons that I can go to work, knowing that
    my baby is being well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone!!

    	You can call Brenda at (508)897-8371 or write to or call me if you
    have questions. My DTN is 226-6597.

    I have a 13 1/2 yr. reliable, and mature daughter available to babysit
    on weekend evenings.  She's great with kids with plenty of practice 
    with her 4 year old brother.  Also could do some week nights til

    This is for the Ashland, MA.
    
    

    I have reduced my hours at DEC and will no longer be sending my
    children to my current daycare provider - my mother-in-law will be
    caring for my children.
    
    My caregiver is located in Marlboro, MA.
    
    Doris has been caring for my children (Kelsey - 3 in Jan, Phillip - 19
    mos) since Kelsey was 6 mos old.  Although she used to care for several
    children at one time, she decided to care for only my child(ren) since
    I began employing her.
    
    Kelsey and Phillip go to her 3 days/wk.  She and her husband, as well
    as their own adult children, consider my children a part of their
    extended (they have 15 grandchildren !) family.  In fact, they are
    called "Nana" and "Grampie".  The children are able to come and go
    throughout the house as they do in our own.  They are not restricted to
    any rooms.  
    
    The house is child safe and equipped with toys, playpens, strollers,
    high chair, car seats, etc...  The yard is completely fenced in with a
    sandbox, screened sun-house, swing set, yard toys, etc.  
    
    She and her family are very warm and nurturing individuals.
    
    Her rates are very reasonable.
    
    I learned of her through this notes file almost 3 years ago!!!  I'm
    keeping the tradition of advising and referring DECcie's to her!!
    
    She will be available at the end of April, if not sooner.
    
    Her name is Doris Bubb and her phone number is (508)481-3641.  
    
    If you would like to know more about Doris, feel free to call me at
    home 485-8523, or in the office Tues - Wed at DTN 223-4798 beginning
    4/23.

    The Kiddie Country Club in Acton has openings for infants and toddlers.
    
    Hours 7:30-6
    
    Cost $155/week
    
    My daughter Katie has been here since she was 4 months old (she's now
    3), and Jenny started a month ago.  Teacher turnover is very low (only
    one of the teachers has not been there since Katie was a baby), and
    the center is small...26 children when full (7 babies, 10 toddlers, 9
    "big kids")
    
    I've found this center to combine the best features of home care with
    the advantages of a center.  I few the folks there almost like family. 
    Due to layoffs, they've lost a number of children, and now have
    openings for babies and toddlers.

    I am entering this note for a friend. She is a 21 year old college
    junior who is home for the summer and is looking for a full time
    babysitting job. She is an early childhood education major at
    University of North Carolina, Greensboro. She lives in Holden, MA but
    would be willing to travel outside the Holden area. If you are
    interested, please contact Carrie Migdelany at (508)829-6049 or Tracy

	Hi:


	I am entering this note for a friend who is looking to care for
	one child in her home.

	She has 2 children of her own; an infant, and an adorable toddler
	who is almost 4 years old. (both girls)

	Wendy watched my three year old son a couple of weeks ago because
	my daycare provider was on vacation.

	When I would pick him up in the evenings he was having so much
	fun that he could barely contain himself.

	During that week Wendy worked with the children to introduce them to
	"911", she had them coloring, molding clay, and Nicholas learned
	his name and address (which we had been working on without total 
	success).  She also planted marigold seeds with them which I thought
	was just great.

	They have a nice play area in a finished basement of a split entry
	home.  This play area walks out to a fenced backyard complete with
	a swing set.  

	I think that Wendy would make a great daycare provider for someone.
	She is looking for a toddler between 3 and 4 years old.  She is 
	located in the WestGate Village area off of route 3 exit 4 or 5.


	If you are interested please let me know and I will give you Wendy's
	telephone number.


					Thanks,

The woman who provides daycare for my 6 month old daughter has two
full-time daytime openings and two openings for second/third shift.
She is not licensed as she lives in an apartment and therefor does
not meet the Colorado requirement for having a backyard.  However,
her apartment (Chimney Ridge) is ajacent to Erindale Park and she 
does take the kids there.

She has two sons, ages 2 and 9 and currently cares for one other
two-year-old.  She provides meals and snacks and has TONS of toys!
She would prefer children from 10 months up.  She charges $225 per
month for ages 7 months - 2 years, and $200. for 2 years and up
fulltime.  If the child is in diapers, you provide the diapers and
wipes.

                      DAYCARE IN MILFORD, NH

My Family would love to share our weekday adventures with your 3 or 4 year 
old. I'm a stay-at-home Mom with a very happy 3 and 1/2 year-old boy.
We fill our days with reading, laughter, games, hugs, artwork, songs and 
free time for silence or silliness.
We have a yard that is set down off the street on a corner lot, a safety 
feature we love! We also have a sizable playroom totally devoted to a 
pre-schoolers idea of fun. It has a slide, table and chairs, books, and 
lots of toys to stimulate a little person's imagination. My son and I have 
lots of fun together and think a new friend could add much to our days. 
I enjoy helping children progress in every part of their life, I would also 
like to give the parents a good feeling about where their child spends 
their day. I will provide lunch, snacks, drinks and lots of TLC. If this 
kind of daycare interests you, please call Patti @ (603) 672-2320, Milford 
NH.

    Hi,
    
    The Liberty School House in Bedford, NH currenly has some 
    openings for 3 years old and up.  They offer preschool/kindergarten
    and extended care.  My son has been there since June of this year
    and we are all very happy with every aspect!
    
    They are located at 300 Liberty Hill Road (not far from MK) in
    Bedford.  The number is 472-2655.

	TThere's an organization in the Leominster, Fitchburg, Lunenburg
   and Westminster area called Family Daycare Providers's Association.
   It has access to 21 providers that serve the above areas. For further
   information call Pat Lampi at (508) 582-6466.

    My sitter has some openings due to children moving away, etc.  Nobody
    has ever left due to dissatisfaction!!!  She is located just off Elm
    Street in north Framingham (just over the Sudbury line).  She and her
    mother supervise the children together and they are both wonderful with
    the kids - all ages.  She and her house are immaculate and she prepares
    most meals from scratch (of course, there are hotdogs now and then).
    
    She offers both full and part-time care but prefers that part-time
    hours are at least 15 hours per week.  She cares for few children at
    a time and dedicates a lot of attention to those there.  Her rates are
    reasonable, she offers sibling discounts and is flexible when need be -
    she'll work with you if your financial situation changes.
    
    She offers both indoor and outdoor activities and the kids do at least
    one special "project" just about every week.  She currently has one
    full-time 2 1/2 year old and a couple of part-time preschoolers.  Both
    adults love babies and I'm sure would be happy to have a new one to 
    care for.  She has three school-age children of her own.  She is
    licensed and has been providing day-care for several years.
    
    Her house has a fenced-in yard and is on a quiet street.  I would love
    to see her get some new business since she deserves it and so do
    children...  I've summarized the somewhat lengthy rambling above in the
    next paragraph.
    
    Full and part-time care, supervised by 2 adults, licensed, nutritious
    home-cooked meals and snacks, indoor and outdoor activities, fenced-in
    yard on quiet street, wonderful with all ages.  You can reach Roseanne
    at (508) 788-0055.

My day care provider has openings for children all ages (preferrably infants)
due to my group move to Merrimack.  She is located on Great Road in Maynard
near both the Mill and Parker Street facilities.  She has provided a loving
home environment for my oldest son for 4 years, and my youngest son for the past year.  We thought she
year.  We think she is terrific and will miss her terribly.  The details:

	- She is licensed and has been providing daycare for about 9 years
	- She is a non-smoker
	- Her hours are flexible (part-time preferred)
	- Meals and snacks are provided
	- Her house has a fenced-in yard

    woman who, in addition to raising 4 children of her own, has cared for
    a total of 65 children in her child-care career.  I'd very much like to

    keep things tidy when time permits.

    with responsible staff providers.     The owner is there most if not
    every day of the week.     I've had my infant daughter there
    for 5 months and have been very satisfied with the care.  The center
    capacity is around 25-28 children, which to me is a good size to
    give personal attention to each of the groups of children.
    The price does not seem as expensive as some of the other
    daycare centers in the area, based on what I've heard.

    Hi  
    
    My daycare provider has 3 full time openings.  Her hours are from 7:00
    - 5:30.  She is a nonsmoker, cpr and first aid certified, provides
    breakfast and lunch.  My daughter really enjoys going to stay with her.
    
    She lives in Westminster, Ma.  One big plus for me, is that she lives
    right on the school bus route and my daughter starts kindergarten in
    the fall and the school bus stops right in front of her house.
    
    If interested give her a call at 874-2570

  My daughter-in-law, Patty Pallies, has recently become licensed for
  daycare in her home in Pepperell (License #70392).  She has an
  8-month-old daughter, Sophie.  Patty's goal is to be able to give as much
  one-on-one time with the children as possible, so she is hoping to fill
  two or three part-time slots so there will be no more than two children
  in addition to Sophie at one time.

  Patty is warm and comfortable with children.  She is also quite creative
  and will provide a stimulating environment.  She has plenty of space for
  play in her home, and has a large back yard.  In addition, Pepperell's
  "Big Back Yard" playground is within walking distance of her home.

  If you are interested in talking to Patty, her phone number is
  508-433-8843.

  Her address in Pepperell is 22 Tucker St.

  Also, please feel free to contact me if I can give you any more
  information.

    I made a mistake in 12.103.  Patty will take two *full-time* children,
    or the equivalent number of part-time.

    A good friend of ours, Joan, is looking to expand her home day care.
    she is an experienced, licensed provider who has full-time openings for
    one child under 2, and 2 openings for 2-4 year olds (This does not mean
    she necessarly plans to fill all of these...she currently has a 7 month
    old and a 3 yr. old, and would like to take 2 more children, so that
    she'd have 4 total).  Her non-smoking home is *immaculatley* clean and
    comfortable and she has loads of TLC to share! 
    
    She can provide meals, a big backyard on a quiet street, and lots of
    attention and hugs! She is located in Leicester, Mass. off Rts. 9 and
    56, and near Becker College. She is just 3 miles from Webster Square in
    Worcester. Give her a call! I think you'll be pleased with her!
    
    Call Joan at 892-3343.

    I have recently found a great home care provider on the Sudbury
    Marlboro line in MASS. She is just off Sudbury Street. She currently
    looks after my 11 month old son and has a 3 year old daughter of her
    own. Both she and I would like to have her look after one more,
    preferably a little boy under 2. She keeps very flexible hours and will
    follow your instructions very carefully. Her rates are cheap in
    comparison to what I have been used to and she also provides food and
    formula.
    
    If anyone is interested, plse call her at 508-485-7887. Her name
    Sandie. Call me if wish to talk more about her. My DTN is 2297803.
