A little bit about me

I retired early from a fulfilling career in the education arena and now enjoy combining my passion for children, learning, permaculture, and community with part-time childcare. I hold certifications in Orton-Gillingham Levels I and II and recently completed a 72-hour Permaculture Design Certificate. I value kindness, curiosity, and creating environments where children feel secure, respected, and encouraged to grow. I am seeking a part-time position where I can provide dependable support and become a trusted presence in a family’s daily life.
