A little bit about me

Hello! I loved every minute of my years as a teacher, and I adore children. I've cared for newborns to teens, including newborn twins! As a teacher, I coached sports and put on plays. As a mom, I loved having our home filled with half the kids in the neighborhood. Since retiring, I have served as a nanny and preschool teacher, and have excellent references.

I have an undergrad degree and most of a master's in education, with lots of ongoing training in current child-development principles and methods.

I work very well with kids and have experience taking care of them. I was a babysitter for both my niece and nephew to help my sisters out whenever they needed rest or to work. I’ve been job searching since november and never receive any calls back or even get a response for an interview so hopefully I have some luck here.
