Self-employeed
Albion, NE
03.1988 - 06.2022

I was a state licensed childcare provider, offering care for children ages 6 weeks up to 12 years of age. I provided 2 meals and 2 snacks daily. I participated in the Nebraska food program which insured the children were offered nutritional foods daily.

My hours of operation were 7AM until 6PM.

Being involved with children has always been very satisfying to me. Over the past 30+ years I have been able to be a part of two generations of families lives. Being a provider in a small town such as Albion has allowed me to stay in touch with those families and keep up with them and their children’s activities. It is such an awesome feeling to see the children, who are now adults become successful and know that I made a difference in their lives.
