A little bit about me

I am a retired public school teacher with over 20 years experience caring/teaching for young children. I love helping children develop their self-esteem as well as their cognitive abilities through developmentally appropriate and enjoyable activities. I am very experienced in communicating with families and building positive relationships. I find caring for children very rewarding and realize how important it is to work with the family as a team. I understand the parent is their first teacher and am there to support them in any way I can. In addition, I have housekeeping experience.
