Meet All Health & Safety Standards
I, my spouse and my home have undergone extensive licensing and education requirements as well complete background checks.
Green & Eco Friendly
The Beary Patch tries not to use traditional disposable diapers or cleaning chemicals as both contain harmful chemicals.  We use gdiapers or cloth exclusively for diapering.  Gdiapers are an environmentally friendly hybrid of disposable and cloth.  For more information go to: www.gdiapers.com We also recommend these vendors for your cloth diapering needs: www.nappyshoppe.com and www.adiaperchange.com
Plenty of Room to Play
We have a large, fenced back yard with lots of climbing equipment, a playhouse and sandbox.  We are located just a few blocks from a shaded park and can often be found having a picnic there in warm weather.
