A little bit about me

I hold a degree in Psychology with a focus on Human Development, which has given me a strong understanding of child growth, behavior, and learning. I have four years of experience as a babysitter, caring for children of various ages. My responsibilities included preparing meals, changing diapers, organizing educational and creative activities, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. Additionally, I have cared for my two young nieces over the years, providing daily care such as feeding, diapering, helping with bedtime routines, and engaging them in fun, age-appropriate learning activities.

I also worked at a mental health clinic, where I assisted in a classroom setting with around 10 children. In this role, I helped teach social and emotional skills, guided group activities, and supported students with their homework. This experience strengthened my ability to manage group dynamics, promote positive behavior, and adapt to each child’s individual needs.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm a seasoned, certified ALSDE Visual Arts teacher (grades pre-k - 12) with additional instructional experience in Spanish Enrichment, Music Appreciation, and ESL.
My husband and I are both Alabama natives and have lived in Baldwin County for the past 5 years having moved from central Alabama in order for me to accept a teaching position in Daphne.
I love working with children and especially fostering their naturally creative nature and imagination! I believe hands on learning and experiences through play are the best classrooms for young children!
Perhaps most importantly, I have raised three wonderful and successful children of my own who are now ages 28, 26, and 21! (Two boys and a girl)
In conclusion, I'd like to add that becoming a nanny (temporarily, part-time, or full-time) is something I'm interested in exploring as a fulfilling opportunity to either supplement or replace my role as a professional educator while assisting a family in our area.
