I am a retired teacher/principal who is still very active. My past experiences as a teacher enhanced my love for children. I know that interacting with children, playing with them is the most important gift we share with them. I am physically active, walking and riding my bike 5 days a week. My experiences with children include my grandson who is 1 and preschool children who I worked with in a state job. I've raised 2 children of my own who are successful aspiring adults, one a doctor and the other has her masters degree. My hobbies include biking, reading, sewing, quilting, and board games. I love music and going to the theater with my girlfriends. As an educator, I well know the value of a well rounded child, one that has grown up in a home filled with love and positive attention. I feel that I can provide a Read more nurturing, kind, loveing experience for children.
