I have Read more worked with children for many years! I love all kiddos and they love me! Children are a gift, the most precious and valuable gift we could ever be given! As such, they should be treated this way. My family has spent over a dozen years working with children and opening our warm home to many families. Children love me because I invest quality time in them, look in their eyes and get down on their level when they are sharing. Limited screen time! Kids need to be active and imaginative, lots of adventure and quality time. I love to read to kids and do crafts too. I celebrate their world with them, showing interest in what matters to them, cheering every triumph and providing compassion for every discouragement. I also have clearly established boundaries which make them feel safe. I am am excellent communicator, patient but firm (and not moody!). I would describe myself as being extremely tuned-in to the needs of children.

My husband and I have been in the ministry (as pastor) for 19 years so we have always been surrounded by kids and families. I helped plan and run many fun clubs for elementary aged kids.
