I am a mother of two teenage children and also an elementary school reading specialist. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education and a masters in reading. My entire career has been devoted to helping children grow as learners. I enjoy being with children of all ages and have always felt this way for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was the neighborhood babysitter and I also walked children to school. Later, in college I babysat to pay for books. I also tutored and nannied. I am patient, kind, helpful, dependable and interactive. I love playing with kids, reading to them, cooking with them, singing to them...just about anything. I am confident that I could make positve contributions to other families.
