Preschool teacher for over 20 years. Made the switch to private childcare 2.5 years ago and have worked for two wonderful families during that time. We have all recently moved to different states.

Loads of experience with higher needs and differently abled children. I have had a criminal background check in Vermont and Washington (happy to do one in Portland as well). I am certified in First Aid/CPR and have an extensive resume and excellent references. I am energetic and artsy with a passion for exploring science and nature with children. I love being outside as much as possible. I easily connect with children through humor and mutual respect. I am eager to find a family I connect Read more with!
