Some of the most rewarding experiences of my life have been working with children and families.I currently live in Topeka, KS with my husband and goofy dog. We are preparing to move back to the Milwaukee, WI area in April/May 2015. I would describe myself as mature and empathetic. The children's best interest will always be in mind. My goal is to always ensure the safety and well-being of the children. I am responsible for and strive to make the parents feel at ease. I am very interactive-I enjoy doing activities with children, reading, crafts, being outdoors, walking, singing, etc. I am very flexible and always exhibit patience.

Because I have been in school or working full-time for the last 7 years, it has since expired. I am more than willing to get re-certified. I think this is very important!
