About Myself & Family:
I was born and raised in Salisbury, MD. I grew up in a home where my own mother, Trudy Murray Taylor, was a licensed provider for 20 years. She taught me how to unconditionally love & support each and every child that came into our home. Wanting to stay at home with my own children I followed in her footsteps. I have been in the Family Child Care field for 20 years as a Provider, Co-Provider and Substitute (1991-2001 & 2004-present). I am a past member & treasurer of a former daycare association in Salisbury back in the 90's. I then held positions again as member and Board Member from new organization 2010-2013 called the Professional Family Provider Association of the Lower Shore. PFPALS, a Member of the Lower Shore Child Care Resource Center through Salisbury University, and a Member of MD State Family Child Care Assoc. All three of which provide support, education and trainings to assist providers in our chosen profession. My husband Greg & I have been married since January 1992. We have four beautiful daughters together, Caitlyn, Kelsey, Carley & Cassidy, ages 20 to 7. We are a busy family but know the importance of love and support. They are the key to raising our children. I hope you choose to join us and become part of our extended family. "While we are trying to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about." Author: Angela Schwindt
