I’m a former infant, toddler, preschool teacher. I have twenty years of child care experience in and outside the classroom as a babysitter for a number of families in the Cambridge, MA area and more recently in the Burlington, VT area. I hold a Master of Education degree in early childhood education from Lesley University and am CPR and FirstAid certified for infants and children. I’m an avid outdoors person: hiking, biking, kayaking, etc. I enjoy caring for children. I like problem-solving, I thrive in in situations that demand attention, chaos if you will, I find it to be challenging and rewarding! It’s fun!
