Child care at home

Come on in. The kitchen table is set.

Miss Rose and Kerry, mother and daughter, care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years in their Macon home. Breakfast, lunch and two snacks come out of their kitchen, and the door opens early for parents on shifts.

  • Naps

    Babies sleep on their backs, in their own cribs, with nothing else in the crib. Older children rest on mats, when each one needs it.

  • Meals and allergies

    Breakfast, lunch and two snacks are cooked in this kitchen. Tell us about any allergy at the tour; once you enroll, we ask again in private.

  • Clean hands

    We wash hands when we arrive, before we eat and after playing outside.

Who cares for them

A mother and her daughter, in their own house

Miss Rose has cared for the neighborhood's children from her kitchen for a long time. Kerry grew up in this house and now keeps the mornings and the backup days.

  • Rose Gaddis, owner and lead caregiver, in the kitchen doorway of her home

    Rose Gaddis

    Owner and lead caregiver

    Everyone calls her Miss Rose. She cooks every meal, sits in the rocker with the babies and knows which parents are coming off a night shift.

  • Kerry Gaddis, caregiver, in the back yard beside a raised garden bed

    Kerry Gaddis

    Caregiver and backup

    Kerry is Rose's daughter. She covers when Rose has an appointment, runs the afternoon art table and writes families a few lines at the end of the day.

How to enroll

  • Get in touch

    Call or text, or use the contact form. Miss Rose answers when she's out of the group, usually after naps or at the end of the day.

  • Book a tour

    Come see the house with your child. It takes about half an hour, and it's the time to ask about your shifts and about the figures.

  • Join the waitlist

    If the group is full, we put your family on the list. When a place opens, we call the family that has waited longest first.

  • Register

    Rose gives you the enrollment forms. Your child's details, health and the people allowed to pick up go there, in private.

  • The first day

    Bring a change of clothes and what your child sleeps with. Stay a while so the first goodbye can be calm.
