A little bit about me

I started nannying for a family while my children were young, so I could stay home with them.
I would take my children to this family's home each day. The mother was a doctor and the father was a teacher. During these years, their family continued to grow. This partnership was a mutual blessing for both of our families.
When my children were both of school age, I went back to college and finished my BS degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Reading and Early Childhood Unified. I have been working for Grant Wood AEA for the past 12 years, currently in the Early Access Autism program with 0-3 year old children. I have been going on home visits to teach play strategies to parent's concerned about red flags for autism.
My children are now grown. I miss spending the day with little ones. I am an active person. I love to be outside, play, cook, do crafts, read books, and help kids grow and use their imaginations!

I still speak with the family I nannied for - for 8 years! Our children are now all grown. It's fun to look back at all the pictures I took of them being silly and proudly showing off all of their different art projects.
