Childcare Profile: Christina's Family Daycare

Providing childcare is nothing new for Christina Becker. She’s been a certified childcare provider in Monroe for almost 26 years.
She started in childcare in 1996, after her first son was born with congenital heart disease. Becker said her own heart guided her to be a stay-at-home mother for her son (who is now “thriving with his heart health”) and “care for the children of our future generations.”
Last fall, she became a licensed family daycare, enabling her to accept up to eight children, ages 2 months to 9 years old.
