I am a retired Elementary and Middle School certified teacher of English, math, and science with experience working with children from age birth through age 15. and am a loving mother of a daughter with special needs. I have my own vehicle with a perfect driving record, I have a very reliable car and never missed a day of working recently with a 3-year old boy. I have been baby and adult CPR trained as well as first aid trained. As a member of the school's emergency response team, I received yearly training on the school's AED. I love animals and have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have no problem doing the laundry and housework that you might require. I love to take short day trips to do indoor and outdoor activities, yet keep my charges to their daily schedule. I spent a lot of time on the floor Read more playing with them, and pre-nap time (as well as other times) always included a book to read. My three year old friend and I spent time outside every day no matter the weather. We also spent time weekly on science and math activities in a very natural way using discovery. I am capable of helping with homework in science through the high school level, and math through basic calculus, as well as all of the other subjects.
