Sitter in Laurel, Maryland

My name is Valerie Dumas, and I am a mother and homeschool-teacher. My passion is motherhood and that resonates in the quality I strive for in my home! I am a CPR certified provider. I am also the organizer for Meetup..... Laurel Stay-at-Home Moms group, dedicated to helping moms find new ways to socialize with their kids. I started caring for and educating children as a worship leader at the age of 12. As this passion grew I studied and in 2013 completed my Bachelors Degree in General Studies. While in school I worked as a nanny and as the assistant director of a childcare center. Before becoming a stay at home mother in 2013, I was a foster parent. From 2011 to 2013 my husband and I cared for a six teenage boys in our home. Managing a household with six boys and a toddler provided a wide range of experience. In the words of Willa A. Foster, "Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives."
