A little bit about me

I love children. My undergraduate degree is in education. I have ample experience with children, I feel comfortable with all ages, and I enjoy working with them.

I have an MBA and I now work in HR. I like to stay busy and I enjoy having a job that fulfills and enriches my life. I recently left my part time job of 4 years and I am looking for another opportunity that I will love as much as that one. Caring for your children would provide me with that opportunity.

I have a 15 year old daughter that goes to Liberty High School and plans on attending Stanford when she graduates. She is a great kid and I did an excellent job, if I do say so myself.

I am not currently CPR or first aid certified but being a parent has certainly given me the tools necessary to take care of children. I can become certified if that is a requirement.

Available weekday evenings and weekends!
