A little bit about me

Fostering children's growth and development is a true passion of mine. With 30 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient and friendly approach. I have a college degree in K-6 education including coursework in Early Child Development, and experience with special needs children. As a teacher, I enjoy playing educational games, board games, and outdoor activities. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and providing verbal updates at pickup. I am also happy to travel. I am CPR and First Aid trained, have a car, and am comfortable with pets. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child's life brings me joy.
