I come from a very creative background. Im an actress and educator, and have worked with children on every capacity. In the classroom as a k-8 Theater Arts teacher; as a director & activity specialist, with the top theater companies in Houston; as well as babysitting in Brooklyn NY with specialty in imagination play. One of my favorite experience was my one week summer preschool theater program, which I was commissioned to create. I have a gentle yet exciting way of getting kids excited to learn and play. I am also clear and direct in getting them to understand directions and boundaries. I love children, because they love me. I believe that children strive on structure, and love when someone cares about them enough to listen to their wants and needs, even if its ridiculous. Patience is a virtue, and I have it~
