My mom ran a daycare out of our house until I was 7 when she went back to work teaching. I learned so much from her on how to structure and balance time — play and physical activity, exploration, pitching in and helping out, learning and solving, and of course, what I used to hate and now love, nap time. My mom, pop and sis are all teachers, although I didn’t go that direction, I have learned so much from them on how to communicate, teach and support children at all ages and all personalities. I played many sports growing up (swim, lacrosse, basketball, dance) and I love and have worked in the art and music industries, so I can indulge any curiosities in those areas! I have my bachelors degree in communications, majoring in PR, journalism and advertising so I can help with the alphabet and writing. I can Read more keep the kids active, explore downtown and the lake nearby (if I’m sitting them at our house). Promise they’ll be sent home with great stories of fun but will probably be asleep soon after that! I keep them active!
