Dear Parents,

I would like to thank you for your interest in my services and take this time to introduce myself.  I have been caring for children professionally for the past 21 years. I have been married for almost 20 years to an amazing man.  We have two daughters 14,18 and 3 grown step children.

My past history, when I was as young as 12 years old I knew that my future would  always be with young children. After high school I was a nanny for four years than we moved into our home and I decided to enroll children in my care. During this time I had a small child and I was taking night school to receive my Early Education.

My hobbies beside my love for children, I have 2 horses that my daughter and I board out in the country. I love the challenge of riding my horse and the experiences I have received.

Child care continues to be a rewarding experience every day of my life. I know that I am contributing to children becoming young independent adults.

I have been licensed by Washington County Oregon Childcare Division to care for children in my care. This means after everyone has a background check, checking my credentials and the health inspector visits, CCD has given my approval to run two homes for up to 12-16 children in our homes. In addition, I will adhere to strict guidelines for the excellent childcare we provide every day.

Currently hold a Step 7.5 with the Oregon Registry, CDA (early education degree), credential for Infant/Toddler  and becoming accredited through National  Associates of Family Childcare.

As you can see in the pictures each property is very large sitting on a half acre lots. We are able to adventure out into the outdoors and create with the children’s imagination.  Inside is designed for every age child from hand on sensory , messy art etc. We also provide healthy meals and snacks for the children in accordance with the U.S.D.A Food program.

I appreciate you taking the time to visit my web site. I look forward to meeting with you so you can make an informed decision for the care of your child(ren). If you have any further questions, or if you are interested in placing your child in my care, please contact me by phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you and having a future-partnership in your child’s future.

Sincerely,

Tracy Avalon
