A former nanny and preschool teacher, I homeschooled my four children from kindergarten through high school. For the last seven years, I've directed and staffed childcare programs for private events, and provided after-school and summer childcare for individual families. While some people are gifted in engineering, business development, or landscaping, my gift is in working with children. I am patient, kind, give the respect that I require be given to me, enjoy playing, and am in awe of nature. I believe in consistency, and enjoy teaching, guiding, and nurturing children. A few years after graduating from Virginia Tech with a double major in Computer Based Decision Support Systems & Business Management (English minor), I stumbled upon the fields of early childhood education and childcare, and my giftedness. And, a few years after that, I bemoaned to my husband that I had not put my college degree successfully to use while Read more my friends had each found success in their degree fields. He refocused my disappointment in myself by pointing out that I was blessed to be doing, not only what I was naturally skilled in, but, also, just what my heart had always desired to do: raise children (we had four children in 4.5 years).
