Hello there! I have a background in teaching in schools (public, private, and Montessori) and some of Chicago's most prestigious museums, and have worked with children 15 months to high school. I have a BA in Psychology and attended graduate school for an MAT in Elementary Education. I am First Aid/CPR/AED/BBP certified. I understand the importance of engaging with children to scaffold growth and development. Hands-on exploration, science, and art are my forte. I have recently moved to Seattle from Chicago with my husband and I am looking to continue working in childcare, but gain a little more flexibility work-wise and have life/work balance (hence why I no longer wish to teach!). Thank you for your time!
