Hello! It’s safe to say that my life has been child centered for the last 25 years. After I had my son and daughter, i wanted to work and be with them as much as possible so I began teaching preschool so they could come with me. I fell in love with teaching so much I decided to go back to school and get my Early Childhood - 4th Teacher certification to become an official classroom teacher in public schools. During that time the economy was in a recession so I needed to think of something else. My husband and I ran a home based business for several years but my dream was always to teach and work with children. That was my calling! A friend suggested nannying and the rest is history! I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work for some wonderful families over the years and gain so Read more much experience working up close and personal with these families and their precious children. These have been opportunities to use my teaching experience as well. It’s always my goal to be a lot of fun, very loving and firm as needed, as well as, using each moment as a learning opportunity. For me kiddos are what life is all about and they bring so much joy to mine!
