About Debbie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Over the past 25+ years, I have been honored to work with parents, guardians, and other professionals to provide quality childcare, tutoring, and educational experiences. I am a reliable caregiver who nurtures children and supports families. I am finishing my Master's in Teaching K-5. My BA degree is in Liberal Studies for Elementary Education and I have significant coursework and training in Early Childhood Ed./Child Development. In addition to having extensive experience caring for and educating infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children, I have taught Kindergarten and schooled children in their homes. I provide glowing references, safety certifications, and extensive background checks. My vehicle is safe and reliable and I have a clean driving record with excellent car insurance. I love pets, kids of all ages (yes even teens), the outdoors, camping, reading, and volunteering, I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can meet your family's needs.

Debbie exceeded all our expectations. She home schooled my 6 year old for Kindergarten (not enrolled in remote learning). She brought a ridiculous level of patience when he struggled with Covid-based loneliness and acting out in long dramatic tantrums. She brings the same patience with our 2 year old, focusing on teaching them age-appropriate emotional intelligence and communicating about their feelings. It helps so much. She builds education into games without letting the kids know. For example, they built a restaurant/store which integrated skills like counting money and calculating change, reading the menu, writing the specials board, sorting, and taking orders. They also built the fridge & stove from cardboard boxes. When she's not being a modern Mary Poppins, she also helps around the house when she can. She involves the kids in clean-up that actually makes the house much cleaner! She's organized all their toys to help with clutter. It's been amazing. You'd be lucky to have her.
