I'm an educator and the kind of person you want doing homework with your kids, reading with them, and listening to their experience of the world. I love helping kids learn new things. I'm a calm, patient person, caring, non-nonsense. I've never had to raise my voice to get kids to listen to me. I babysat for many years, and raised a son myself. I'm comfortable with pets and an experienced cat mom. I'm a good cook and happy to do some light housework if needed. I love going outside for walks, bike rides, and exploration, playing games, reading, cooking and baking together, crafts, dinner and bedtime routines. I think dinner should be fun and should involve talking about their day, their likes and dislikes, their hopes, frustrations, and imaginations. I believe kids need to feel safe, loved, and encouraged in order to thrive, and it's my honor to provide Read more those things. I'm adaptable and I have some understanding of disabilities.
