About Me And My Family
About Me:

My family and I are moving to the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area mid-June! We are so excited as this is HOME for us! My husband and I were both raised here. We have not lived in the area for 15 years, as we have been greatly involved in Ministry throughout Iowa.

I have had 16 years in-home daycare experience, and 1 year in a daycare center. I prefer in my home, it's much more personal and fun! I have reasonable rates and am very easy to work with. I am registered with the State of Iowa, Childcare Resource and Referral, Department of Human Services as of February/2000. I am First Aid/ Infant- Child- Adult CPR certified as of August/2000. I am also Child Net Certified as of July 18, 2001 and PITC Certified in 2007. I do participate in the QRS, Quality Rating Scale to improve quality childcare and also in the Food Program which assures scheduled, healthy meals and snacks.My husband and I also provide Respite Care for children with special needs through Lutheran Services of Iowa, it's an awesome program and an awesome opportunity.

I am a Christian Childcare Provider and We pray before meals, talk about God, read Bible stories and sing songs. I love interacting with the children, I plan many crafts and activities to keep them busy and we have lots of fun! You can depend on me, I will try and help you in whatever way I can with your childcare needs.

About My Family:

My husband and I have been in the Youth Ministry since 1994.

We moved to Iowa Falls in 1996 and worked with the youth in an Open Bible Church for 3 years before we moved to Council Bluffs. My husband was the Youth Pastor from 2001 to 2008 with an Assemblies of God Church in Council Bluffs. We stepped down from that position as we felt God leading us elsewhere. After 2 years of praying for what was next, we started a Church with one other couple in the area and called it Church 180. We wanted to reach out and encourage people who felt like they took a wrong turn in life and help them turn their lives around. That is what it's about! That opportunity was an honor and we have met so many great people through that experience.

We resigned the Church in May 2011 after my Mother in law passed away. She left an amazing legacy and it's been a tough tranisition to live here without her, but we have peace knowing she is in a much greater place! We are moving back to be closer to our family and are trying to get re-established in this area.

We have 4 boys of our own. Two have graduated already, one lives in Louisville, Kentucky and one lives in Omaha, Nebraska. We have one going into seventh grade and one will be a Junior. We love our boys with all of our heart! 

Thank you for taking the time to visit, and I'd appreciate it if you would please sign my guestbook, I'd love to hear from you!
God Bless You All!!!
