Childcare

 Hi, my name is Taija! I have been a mom for 7 years and a bonus mom for almost 4 years. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I have plenty of hands-on experience providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment for kids of all ages. I am currently offering childcare services and have open availability for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift to accommodate a variety of work schedules. Whether you need daytime care, evening care, or overnight care, I’d love to help support your family’s needs. For parents working 3rd shift, I even have an extra room in my home where your child can comfortably sleep through the night. I also provide food, which is included in the weekly or biweekly payment arrangements. I’m very flexible and negotiable when it comes to pricing because I understand the financial challenges many families are facing right now—and let’s be honest, I’m often much more affordable than traditional daycare options. I am located near North Ontario in Toledo, Ohio. Your child’s safety and your peace of mind are extremely important to me. I’m happy to share more personal details about myself so you can feel comfortable and confident choosing me to care for your little one(s). I am also willing to complete a background check if requested; however, the cost of the background check would need to be covered by the requesting parent. If you’re interested or have any questions, please feel free to send me a private message. I’d love the opportunity to connect with you and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!
