I have 2 children ages 9 & 10 yrs old. They are the love of my life & keep me smiling. I enjoy watching them grow, learn & enjoy life. Children are a great blessing & I'm honored to be called mom by these two amazing boys & considered a 2nd mom to all of their friends. I love them all dearly. I love to experience various activities with my children & with children I have watched over the years. From riding bikes, going to parks, hiking adventures, swimming, doing crafts, teaching the toddlers #'s, shapes, colors, etc. to all of us relaxing, piling together to watch a good kids movie with pizza & popcorn or playing games, etc. We love learning & having fun. I enjoy taking the kids to their various activities if they have anything they need to be taken to. I love to watch everyone have Read more fun learning their activity & to cheer them on. During the school yr(Sept-May) I have been blessed to have taught children and teens as a substitute teacher for the public school systems(my work is now coming to halt due to being near end of school yr). I consider my job extremely rewarding. I love making a difference in the lives of children & teens. I strive everyday to be my best for them & help reach out to all my students. I believe in them all & try to keep motivating them to be & do their absolute best. I want to help them excel in their studies & try to help them understand they can succeed; do anything & be anything they want in life. I make sure my students & even my own children know how very important, special they are to me & they know they're loved. There's nothing more I wish for than for my children, the children I have watched over the years & every student I've had to just be happy, healthy and cherished. Prior to me sub teaching, I taught preschool K2-K4, babies & toddlers. I have 24 yrs exp working w/children. Sitting since I was 12 yrs old. Now that my sub teaching work is coming to an end due to summer, I have decided to nanny again, either short or long term. I am furthering my childhood education 2 nights per week at Jeff State this summer. If you are still looking for someone & are interested pls contact me.
