Experience: 20 yrs
Nurturing the growth and development of children has been my life's work for the past 20 years. As a certified elementary school teacher with extensive coursework in child development, I bring a creative and lively approach to childcare. I find genuine joy in the energy kids bring into each day, whether we are engaging in outdoor adventures, solving puzzles, or exploring new concepts through educational games. I have been CPR trained and EpiPen trained repeatedly and have been responsible for many students with severe allergies, EpiPens, and insulin monitors. I will ensure a safe environment for your family. I'm happy to assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel, and I am always ready to supervise swimming/playground sessions. I prioritize open communication with parents and will consistently respect your preferred methods for managing household rules. I look forward to partnering with you to create a supportive and joyful space where your children can thrive this summer!
