A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a teacher, cat mom, and an empty nester who enjoys working in the home with kids. I will love doing homework with your kids, playing games, cooking meals with them, taking them to activities, and listening to them narrate their adventures. I would gladly take them outside to play in nearby parks as weather allows. I have all the experience that comes with age and many years working with and raising kids. I'm comfortable with pets, light household chores, and transportation. Northampton MA or nearby. I'm calm, patient, caring, no nonsense, great with languages, and I'll love your pets as much as you do. If your kids are school age, I'm definitely the person you want helping them with homework. Please reach out to see if we might be a good fit.
