One of my greatest achievements to date has been completing my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education in 2011. I was able to experience a multitude of classroom settings along with interaction with children from the ages of Kindergarten through High School. I have been caring for children through babysitting, being a nanny, day care, and volunteering in the classroom for over 30 years. Personally I have two fur babies that enjoy the outdoors as much as I do. We spend our free days fishing, hiking, off-roading or just relaxing in nature when the Colorado weather permits. When we are stuck indoors it is a great opportunity for creating in the the kitchen or crafting little projects. My philosophy is Life is a learning experience, and every experience allows for learning.
