HELLO MOMS AND DADS. Being a parent is a full time job. Plus, you also work full time. So please allow me to assist you with your busy life. I had to juggle this myself a number of years ago and I understand. As you can see I love 'to play'. I collect puppets, have participated in theater performances, taught swimming, enjoy playing 'educational FUN games with children. However I believe that boundaries need to be established with children as well as on going communication maintained with parents. I earned a B.S. in Child Development with an emphasis in Recreation Therapy. I have worked in education as well as special education. Overall, my skills are best aligned with little ones who are 3 to about 8 years. In the end, I believe kids learn best through play and having fun. Currently, I am free for date nights... those can really Read more recharge your energy. Please contact me for further references and information about my experiences. P.S.-I'm very allergic to cats, but fine with dogs.
