I am a stay at home mom and experienced teacher, who enjoys playing with, listening to, and caring for children.  My Business Administration degree, 15 master hours, ABEKA certification, and love for inspiring children help me serve my Sittercity families in many ways. As a former USAF wife and mother of two teens, I have been employed in nine states. I have taught first grade; been employed as substitute teacher in both public and private schools (K-12); hired as a private tutor; and employed as an ESOL and GED instructor.   Currently, I am working as a substitute teacher for PWC and private Christian schools. I also provide tutoring in math, Algebra, English, Biology, and SAT prep. My desire is to become an extended family member to each of my Sittercity Families .  Your kids deserve the security, attention, love, fun, and dependability I can offer!  Let me know how I Read more can help. God bless!

Gretchen is wonderful with our son. We feel very comfortable leaving him with her. She has great experience and is a mom herself- which is very comforting.
