I truly believe that children are the future of our world. I have a natural, nurturing spirit and a great passion for teaching and inspiring children/youth of all ages to discover and achieve their full potential and joy. I am in awe of the developmental process and I bring a fun, warm, and accepting energy to positively impact your child's development and well being. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Child Psychology, with minors in Theatre Arts and Sociology. I am a Certified Child Life Specialist and am up to date on CPR/BLS training. On the side, I am also a student of holistic health, studying Healing Touch and Massage Therapy. I have been working with children my whole life and have over 15 years of experience. Experience includes professional pediatric hospital work, early childhood teaching (including well rounded work in an infant room, toddler room, and preschool Read more room), tutoring homeless children/youth, private childcare, childcare within a non profit, and daycare experience. I am comfortable with all ages, very young infants through the teenage years. I love pets and am happy to care for your animal family members. I am also happy to perform light house cleaning tasks and food preparation/cooking.
