I'm happy, I'm creative, and I enjoy getting to know people and doing new things. I don't sit around waiting for something to happen ... I do it (or start learning how), and if I'm taking care of children then they are the reason behind what I do. They are the main ingredient. I've raised 2 children (now ages 29 and 49) and for 2 decades I worked with my husband Bill in an arts nonprofit we founded and ran. My hobbies include weaving, cooking, and working on Bill's website. I walk about a mile and do yoga every day. I don't watch TV, and while I understand that kids need to know technology (and I really do believe this), they have a lot of other things they need to learn too! I'm a very warm, sensitive woman who enjoys children. I have a strong sense of ethics/strong values, and Read more I believe children are constantly learning how to be in the world. My job is to always model the behavior of a creative, sincere person and to ask for the best of children but understand when that's not available to them. I'll be creative and engaging with your children. They'll look forward to seeing me -- and I'll be excited about seeing them! If that doesn't happen, I'll know that something's up - and I'll do my best to understand why. I'll be totally transparent with you, and consider you one of the most important people in my journey with your family.
