A little bit about me

I am a mom of three college-aged girls (two born and raised to my husband and myself and 1 who has been a part of our lives for the past five years). I have taught elementary school in a Christian school environment (grades 1-4) for over 25 years, .working with five to eleven year olds at different times along the way. I now substitute for the school district, and especially love working with TK-3rd & 4th grade children, though I have worked with kids all the way up through High School.
I have been involved with little ones in Vacation Bible School settings (3-12 year olds) as well as the teens who help out.

I love babies and toddlers and miss those special days with my girls watching them grow and develop, learn and discover new things, play, take walks, enjoy books, and appreciate the simple things of life.

I look forward to tbe opportunity of meeting and working with your family.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was an elementary education teacher for about 30 years and currently spend time subbing in our local school district. I have also worked with young people through our church (VBS programs, children's classes, Adventure Club, etc.) My husband and I also have raised two daughters and assist as a Host Familt for International Exchange Student Programs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

When taking care of children, I think it's important to do fun, active things that create positive moments and memories.
I enjoy taking kiddos outdoors for nature walks, playing at the park, building a winter snowman, or the magic of walking with an umbrella in the rain. Visiting local libraries for children's story times and other planned programs (ie: skits, music, etc.) is also lots of fun. I love reading good books to young people, helping them develop language & number skills (or for older kiddos, helping them with homework), doing crafts, going to the lake to swim, etc.

Sometimes the quieter, rainy-day moments can be just as special: doing a puzzle, playing with play dough, coloring/painting a picture, having a tea party, building w/blocks, making cookies together, or simply letting the child play independently with their toys. These quiet moments provide opportunities for creativity and expression.

My philosophy in raising kids: Build Relationship... Make Memories

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with several special needs children in the school environment.
