I have recently retired from a successful professional career. I have 6 children, 6 grandchildren, one foster child and two former Nanny babies who are still a big part of my life. Since all my children are grown, I am wanting very much to nurture, care for and teach children. I have been a parenting class teacher for three years. I taught Happiest Baby on the Block Nutrition Safety Car seat safety How to really love your child Breastfeeding and bottle feeding Child care I can teach Baby Signing Time and Kindermusik but prefer taking my Nanny babies to a classroom setting to gain social skills. I was last certified in adult and infant CPR and First Aid in 2013. I was a Child Patient Advocate and NICU Baby Rocker for two years. I've worked with children from Den Mother to Cub Master. I was very active in my children's Read more lives from LaLeche League to PTA to T-Ball, soccer, to Band Mom and GrandMom. I love arts and crafts and I am happy to utilize the vast amounts of supplies I've accumulated. I enjoy games and use them as teaching moments. I incorporate reading, music and singing, nature, gardening, and photography in my work babies and children. I have also been very involved in our local theater's productions, so drama is another passion. Your family would have the advantage of many years of educating myself about babies and children as well as my practical experiences. Kids are naturally comfortable around me because they can tell I genuinely love children. I will get down on the floor and play with them.
