Hi S.! I know a lady here in Mesquite that usually keeps my 4 year old son (my husband stays home right now) and she is great! I used to stay home with my kids, but when I went back to work I needed childcare. Quite by accident I found her, and loved her. She is professional, neat, great with the kids(she keeps 0-4yr olds), encourages schedules, feeds them well, and best of all, teaches them great stuff. It was actually hard for me at first because my son was learning all of these things that I didn't get to teach him myself, but I got over it. E-mail me for her info.
