Hello! I am so excited to share with you my story. I am a mother of 2 adult daughters. When our youngest started preschool, I felt lost as I was a stay at home mom for my babies. So what did I do? I started teaching preschool! It was the perfect scenario as I only worked while my daughter was in school. Once she started kindergarten, I moved to a full time position and, again, it was perfect because I only worked while my girls were in school. If they were off I was able to stay home with them. The first year I taught I was with the 18-24 month old group and also helped out in the baby room 2 to 3 times per week. At the end of my first year one of my moms requested I be moved up to Pre-k for her older son so Read more the administrator honored her wishes. I remained at the preschool for a total of almost 13 years. As I was the lead pre-k teacher, I planned all field trips both on-site and off (1 per month), was in charge of the Scholastic book sale, set up a new library and computer lab, planned graduation ceremonies, everything. I also took it upon myself to put together individual yearbboks for all my students - 13-14 each year - including photos and artwork throughout the year to present to them at graduation. Under new management and with the Step-Up program from the state the new administrator decided that all teachers needed to have a college degree. Since I did not have a degree and had no desire to return to college to get one I resigned my position. After I left the preschool I worked in the school district as a recess aide until the district decided to realign their buildings. The school I was in was one that was being shut down. I was at the elementary school for 2 years. I then went to PSI, which is a company that works for the different school systems helping to provide additional staffing personnel. I was hired as a health aide and worked for an elementary school for 2 years - until Covid shut everything down. After the country began to open back up I worked for a family with a 3 month old baby boy and a little 3 year old girl. The father's company moved him out of state and so that was the end of that. Sadly I have lost contact with that family, but I am still in touch with some from my preschool days. During 2023 & 2024 I spent the day taking care of my mon who had been having several health issues. She passed last December and for the majority of this year I have been trying to settle her estate. I would love to work with my littles again!
