I love the excitement and newness of everything to young children. They have such a joy and I love to foster their learning and live of life. I have a Master of Education and have taken many child development classes. After working several years at different universities, I decided to stay home to raise our two children. Fun in education is very important to me. The most important foundation for a child is reading and being read to. I attend the American Library Association conference each year, so I am very up to date with new books and authors. I am in very good shape and love to keep active with children. It’s how they learn so much-by doing. The public library is one of our favorite places for storytime and interacting with other children, as well as parks and playgrounds. I really enjoy pushing the stroller. Being out in Read more nature is so calming and essential. I am a non-smoker and will not work for smokers. My family has 2 Cats and loves reading, going on walks together and playing games. I have been CPR certified many times in the past but currently am not. I would be happy to get recertified if you request it. I prefer working with one child 1-on-1. Please contact me with any questions you have. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
