A little bit about me
Hello! I have a passion for music and the outdoors, and I love getting kiddos involved in nature and art projects. I play violin, guitar and ukulele. I enjoy Kayaking, hiking, cooking, camping, painting and drawing, reading and writing.
My childcare experience has been a wide range, from infants to teenagers.
I grew up on a farm in Missouri with a family of 8, so I am comfortable in chaos and cool as a cucumber in stressful situations.
