 About 19 years ago I wanted to stay home with my unborn child and decided to watch other families children in my home. I became a licensed family child care home in Rapid City, SD and joined a family child care association where I began my quest to learn all that I could about early childhood development.

After moving into military housing , I became licensed by the Air force.  The Air Force family child care program took my learning to a whole new level.  They focused on helping us become a developmentally appropriate childcare home and providers.  I completed the Air Force module program and applied my newly acquired skills to receiving my CDA credential. I have since renewed this credential 2 times by continuing my  education and receiving college credits in early childhood education.

Due to the nature of my husbands career we have moved often.  I have been licensed on 5 Air Force bases in the last 15 years. In 2001 I was awarded the US Air Force FCC Provider of the Year. I was also awarded the Air Force  Provider of the Year.  I felt this was a wonderful accomplishment to be recognized as one of the 8 top Family Child Care Providers in the Air Force.

In 2001 I became an NAFCC  Accredited Family Child care home. There are only 12 accredited family child care homes in Nebraska. (as of Oct. 2009)

 I recently earned my Associates degree in Early Childhood education and am continuing to work towards my Bachelors Degree. I have completed over 1600 hours of childcare related trainings. Including taking CPR and First Aid classes yearly.  I believe that continuing my education benefits all the children in my home and myself.

I have 3 wonderful daughters who have grown up in the home childcare environment.  My husband and I have been married for 19 years.  We are excited that he is now retired from the military and  our children get to  grow some permanent roots in Bellevue.
