A little bit about me
A Seattleite residing in Durham!
I've been here for a little over 4 years now. I was literally called here—long story that I can share once we meet.
I’m God-fearing and a proud mother of an 18 year-old entrepreneur. With 20 years of experience in early childhood education, I hold both an AA and BA in Early Childhood Edication.
Throughout my career, I've worked in licensed centers, private schools, public schools, and with numerous families over the years. Currently, I recently left serving as a Head Start Teacher, and I am looking for full-time work as I transition out of the classroom into a more full-time role elsewhere.
My daughter is dyslexic, which has fueled my passion for literacy and educational support. Outside of work, I love singing, exploring all art mediums, and baking/cooking.
I'm excited to meet the right opportunity and create a meaningful connection, what I like to think of as building a chosen family.

A little bit about me
I have a CNA license (Certified Nurse Assistant) and have been working with elderly people in all kinds of situations for four years. It requires ultra-responsibility and reliability, good judgement, genuine helpfulness, a cheerful attitude, and lots of hands-on personal care (dressing, diaper-changing, assistance with pull-ups, preparing meals, handwashing, health hygiene...) Along with TONS of kindness and patience!
[ Worked with with top Triangle retirement community -- required a flawless criminal background check, clean driving record, drug tests, TB tests, excellent health.]
But, due to natural losses, it's becoming too sad. Looking for change!
I love children. Especially imaginative, lively and curious ones!
Have assembled a lot of high-quality, classic books, toys, and activities to bring!
An experienced homeschooler, I really enjoy reading with young ones, introducing middle ones to good literature, and tutoring older ones. (SAT Prep? Essay writing? Early start can be fun!)
