My Philosophy:
We can learn from kids just as much as they learn from us. Think about it; Adam:27, Kids:0-5, Earth:4.5 billion... We're equally matched.
My Experience:
April'07-April'08: First year as a parent. Resigned from career in TeleCom to raise our infant son. Gained an appreciation for childcare.
April'08-Jan'09: One year down. Second son due in June. Started research on opening family childcare to have friends for the boys and to recoup lost income.
Jan'09-Aug'09: Hunter became our boys' first full-time buddy. I met lots of great caregivers/mentors while navigating the DPW certification process.
Aug'09-Present: Earned DPW cert. Launched dipes2desks.com. Working to provide parents with concise information about childcare providers.
