I have raised three college graduates, who are now living independent and successful lives. I took turns with a neighbor who had three boys, every other day, and they are also successful college graduates. I love children and believe in giving them every kind of opportunity to excel. All of my children were involved in extracurricular activities and they all stayed out of trouble. I am an artist and I have started my degree in art therapy. I love to help children with expression through art and music. I have my license and I have no illegal activities in my background. I have a lot of energy and enjoy keeping up with children

A little bit about me
I am originally from South Carolina, where I started my career as a 1st grade teacher. I taught for 3 1/2 years before moving here to DC in February 2025. When I moved I started working in DC public schools as a 1st grade math teacher. Before I started my teaching career I also held a job in a daycare working with infants, 3-4 year olds, and school aged children while I got my degree in early childhood education from the University of South Carolina in 2021. Working with children has always been a passion of mine! I help them reach their greatest potential by providing gentle and consistent expectations, guidance, and support. I have been trained in the science of reading and have experience teaching all of the core subjects. I am also very creative and love to paint and bake in my spare time. I look forward to helping you and your family!
