With over 10 years’ professional experience in childcare and leading enrichment activities for children, I truly enjoy working with kids and families, either in-home or in the community. I’m comfortable in my ability to provide safe, nurturing care to a variety of ages and abilities and I truly enjoy coming up with new ways to excite and engage. I love reading, storytelling, crafts, games, the outdoors, gardening and imaginative play. A mother myself (to one, AMAZING daughter), I understand the rigmaroles of parenthood –with me, you can expect a complete lack of judgment and a healthy dose of flexibility.
