Whether you're looking for a date-night sitter, a regular care provider, or a tutor directed at content improvement, I would be a consummate addition to your child's life. I am in the Education Master's and Teacher Credential Program at UCSB. As a current graduate student teacher working at La Colina Junior High, I came into the public education profession with fifteen years of experience outside the classroom, in settings like outdoor education and varied backgrounds from high school mentorship to Pre-Kindergarten teaching. In the classroom, there is less room to bring these passions to life in my students and work on the relationship-building -- outside of content acquisition -- that happens when a child interacts with their educator one-on-one. This is my favorite part about teaching, and why I am looking to supplement my career by returning to this work. While your children are with me, you may expect the Read more following: Your child will adopt my contagious passion for curiosity, to learn and grow through innovative, creative, problem-solving. Many parents have noted an improvement in communication and social skills in their child, as well as discovering and developing a deeper interest in themselves and the world around them. I am considerate, genuine, courteous, polite, and extremely patient. My time in public education has also made me efficient and economy-minded. (I know how to stretch limited resources!) These are some of the reasons I have been widely accepted into the lives of all my childcare families. I have continued this rewarding work with children for over 15 years because they inspire me! My extensive work in various child-related fields showcases my passion and talent for education and empowerment. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a first time collaborative consultation. I look forward to meeting your family!
