My name is Darby and I near Macalester in St. Paul. I am a former Minneapolis Middle School English Language Arts teacher who left the classroom to raise our family. My two sons now both attend high school so my days are largely open and flexible. I have had various part-time jobs over the years but find that my heart is simply wanting to be in the world of children. I believe in schedules, active play, home-cooked food, quiet time, fresh air and books. I believe an organized day lends itself to a calm and nurturing environment so I would plan my day much as I planned curriculum. I believe in getting messy when playing and that curiosity expands by exploring, but I also believe that clutter creates chaos. I have had the experiences of relieving fevers, kissing scrapes, and teaching how to use your words when you are upset. Read more I think every experience with children is a learning opportunity and watching them grow is the greatest thing I know.
