Please help this nurse to start a small but much needed daycare in my town!! It will also afford me the chance to stay at home with my live-in grandson, Nathan. Please read my story!
Theresa's Day CareThis summer my 8 month old grandson, Nathan Thomas, came to stay with me. He is my fourth grandchild and a gift.
I had promised all of my daughters that if they were deployed or if any other situation were to arise where they needed care, I would make myself available to provide that care for their child. All three of my daughters went military straight out of high school and my youngest daughter, Nathan's mother, continues to serve in the Alabama National Guard. When my oldest daughter was deployed for a year with the Navy, my husband and I kept her daughter for her. Addy was a bit older, however, and didn't require diaper changes or formula.
Since Nathan will be here for a while and I want to be able to spend the time with him, I have decided that perhaps now is the time that I fulfill my daydream of becoming a child care provider for kiddos from 0-5 years.
It would allow me to earn money at home while providing care and education personally for Nathan, and others, rather than paying someone else to care for him so that I can work out of the home, in the field.
It would also provide a much needed service to my community. There are NO child care centers or daycare providers available in Cape Fair proper.
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse in the State of Missouri with Geriatrics, Pediatrics and BLS/CPR certifications. I have over fifteen years of experience in nursing and nursing related fields.
Now comes the tough part....
I need your help. In order to get started right away and begin taking in kiddos who need a great learning and growing environment, I will need to purchase some items. The following is a basic list of things I will need to get started: books and art supplies, furniture (such as pack-n-plays, small tables and chairs, a changing table or two and booster seats/high chairs), toys and games for appropriate age group, gates for inside and fencing for an area in the yard.
Now, I understand that these types of items are easier to get on a local level, so I have started this page where my friends, loved ones and anyone else who'd like to can donate to my cause! A few dollars here and a few dollars there and I will be up and running!
Thank you all for taking the time to read my request!Theresa's Day Care
Sun Sep 06, 2015 at 2:02 PM PT: I wanted to post an update on my ongoing efforts to raise donations towards my child care center.
I have received donations of time from a couple of folks, one of whom built me a new website!!
Www.nonaskorner.com
I have also been blessed with a friend donating the time and labor to build my fence outside for the kiddos!
I have received an outpouring of encouragement and love!
However, I am not done yet!
I still require some additional funds to purchase the needed supplies to build the fencing and I require a few other items to get up and running!
