ABOUT OUR FAMILY...

Picture
My name is Michele.  My love for children began when I 
was a little girl who played mommy to my baby dolls and 
dreamed of having 10 children when I grew up.  I learned 
how to hold, feed and diaper my baby cousin when I was 
7 years old and have enjoyed caring for children ever 
since that day.  I have been married to my husband Chris for 12 years.  Chris works as an engineer in Cary and also part-time as a DJ and piano teacher.  We have been blessed with 2 wonderful children.  Our daughter is 10 and our son is 8.  We are also animal lovers who have 2 friendly cats who enjoy slumbering all day and 1 dog who loves playing with the children. 

My qualifications...

I was the neighborhood babysitter throughout my junior high and high school years.

Throughout college I provided childcare for 2 families and graduated from Roosevelt University in 1996 with a BA degree in psychology.

Upon graduation I worked in 2 different daycare centers for 1 year.

I was a case manager for children and adults with developmental disabilities in McHenry county for 2 years.

I worked as a foster care case manger for children in McHenry County for 1 year.

I was a program manager for children and adults with developmental disabilities in Cook County for 12 years.

I also enjoyed volunteering in the children's program at our church for 1 year.

My love for children as well as the desire to spend more time with my own kids inspired me to open Playtime Palace Daycare.  In March 2012 I became licensed as a home daycare provider offering working parents a home away from home for their children to come for nurturing care, education, socialization and fun activities for all.
