A little bit about me

I am a MACTE-certified Montessori Teacher for Infants and Toddlers. I have 7 years of experience in a Montessori Classroom. 5 of those I was the lead teacher in the Infant classroom. In the classroom, I developed a curriculum where cultures from around the world were a focal point as well as hands-on sensory experiences for each child. During COVID I developed a guide for parents in my classroom so that they could maintain the routines of the classroom and be informed about Montessori practices. My classroom met all of the early childhood state standards for the infant age group, as well as maintaining a strict adherence to the Montessori philosophy. It was a school expectation that at least 15 hours of continuing education be completed yearly, maintain first aid and CPR certification, and pass a SLED background check. Before working in a Montessori Classroom I was a stay-at-home mom with my 2 special needs children. I have my Bachelor's in Psychology from Coker University.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

2 years of experience in a Toddler Montessori Classroom. 5 years of experience as a lead teacher in an Infant Montessori classroom

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Exploring nature with children at a young age so that they can find beauty in the world independently.

The most important part about being a nanny...

having constant open and clear communication with parents about the best ways to help support the child as well as the family unit.

My experience with special needs children...

Both of my children have special needs and many children in my classroom had them as well. I am used to documentation for early interventionists to be able to help support the child and family, filling out ASQ's for child development and ensuring developmental milestones are met.
