A little bit about me

I'm a retired school teacher, certified in science, art, and gifted education. I raised two children of my own, so I have life experience caring for children from infancy through adulthood. I am old-school and can educate and entertain kids without resorting to a phone or TV. I love doing arts and crafts and nature activities with kids. I enjoy providing tutoring and homeschooling for your children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is to be kind.

Kindness, listening to children, being warm and loving, all while being firm, teaching manners, life skills, gratitude, and joy.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with developmentally delayed children, children with ADHD, autistic children, and children with specific disabilities such as dyslexia.
I have extensive experience working with gifted children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

We were reading the school edition of the Martian by Andy Weir and doing hands-on activities related to the book. We grew potatoes in the classroom and harvested and prepared them with ketchup just like Mark Watney. It was a mixed age group and one of the younger kids was reluctant to try something that we just pulled up out of the soil. He did try a small potato and exclaimed excitedly: "I like these potatoes! They taste just like the inside of French fries!" That comment made my day!
