I am a warm, nurturing, and experienced caregiver with a deep passion for supporting the growth and development of children. As a mother of three children ages 11, 13, and 14, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for kids and nurturing their emotional, social, and educational needs through all stages of childhood. In addition to my parenting experience, I have over 20 years of professional experience in the education field. I am a college graduate with two master's degrees, including a master's in education. My academic training has given me a deep well of knowledge about childhood development, age-appropriate learning activities, positive discipline techniques, and creating an enriching environment for kids to thrive. Most recently I was a volunteer in an orphanage abroad and a chaperone for an out of state field trip with middle school Students.
