A little bit about me

I am a Mom.
I have raised 2 biological children and 2 stepchildren.
I have also fostered over 21 different children, most with learning / behavioral issues.

When my own children were young, I had an in-home daycare.
Once my children were in school, I became a teacher. I taught preschool, kindergarten, and elementary grades.

I have always been a hands-on Mom, taking kiddos to the park, the library, gymnastics, dance, etc. I love creating games and having children participate in arts & crafts.

I was on the PTA board and also have taught Sunday school. I am a Christian, with a lot of love to give to any child because each individual is special.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One day while babysitting a 3-year-old, I drove past a house that had several different animals. I pointed out the cow since it was close to the road behind a fence. She said to me, "That must be a boy cow because it doesn't have any eyelashes!"
