I have been a teacher for over 15 years. I'm currently in the process of changing careers. I'm taking classes online to become a school psychologist. I started Dunsmuir Elementary pre-school program then went on to create my own pre-school for in my home. I taught and ran that pre-school for four years until both of my own children graduated to Kindergarten have 2 children. My two girls now attend school at Sisson Elementary and reside with their father 50 percent of the time. I live in Lake Shastina. I have a car and no pets to care for. I love children and believe that our responsibility as adults is to model and guide them to find their gifts and potential in this complicated society. I believe in consistency and having a natural rhythm to the day. I have not only had many years of experience with young children, but Read more have also taken countless courses in child development and management.
