Lorena Miranda is a Yakima-based in-home child care provider, mother and grandmother. She’s also a representative of in-home child care providers for the state’s union, SEIU Local 925. Miranda opened her own child care program, Nani’s Child Care, four years ago. A long-time friend who is also a Yakima-based provider helped introduce her to the business. She worked at her friend’s program for a time and found out about the union through her. Miranda said one of the biggest challenges for her in becoming an in-home child care provider was adjusting to the limitations on house visitors after becoming licensed. But the sacrifice has been worth it, she said.
