I am a certified preschool-12th grade music teacher in the Iowa City area. I have the necessary requirements to teach in Iowa and Indiana, including federal and state background checks, CPR and AED training, and full licensure. After I graduated college, I started substitute teaching at every level, focusing primarily upon special education and early education classes. I have grown to love the students that I have substitute taught, and the administration now requests that I return to certain positions on a regular basis. I have sporadically babysat in the past for friends and family, and I have also done so at my church in the infant/toddler room. I also was a preschool Sunday school teacher over summers for a number of years. I have found that sillyness, music, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, high energy, and routine are all incredibly important to children of all ages. Through a compassionate Read more and caring attitude, I love to build relationships that build up kids of all ages. Through my schooling, I have been in a teacher/paraprofessional role for the last five years. I have transitioned into a primary teaching role, but I have made working with kids, and all of the joy that comes with that, my life's work.
