I have my bachelors' degree from Ohio University in Child Development. I have 3 children of my own. I started working with children at my church for Sunday School and a preschool teaching position came open. I worked with 3-year-olds for nine years and loved every day I went to work. Then I focused on getting my college degree finished. I have since had supervisory jobs in a school system as a Lead Latchkey teacher and for the YMCA as a site director, overseeing 2 teachers and 36 students. Currently, I'm a preschool teacher.

Karen was great for our almost 2 year old daughter. She helped out while we were on vacation for a few hours at a time. Easy to communicate with.
