Time is the most precious gift we have to give to our children. Having raised my daughters as a single mom while working full time, I understand the challenges of time management. More than that, I understand that overwhelming ache from that feeling like you need to do more. I now find myself in the unique position of having a choice about my life journey and I want to spend time with a family who needs a Granny or Gigi, as I prefer. With my education and experience, I am very comfortable with different parenting goals and want to support your family dynamic. My childcare philosophy is simple; I embrace self direction and leading by example with a calm approach where I listen first. My first objective would be to build trust with respect and patience. The kids may be kids, but they still have all kinds of thoughts and opinions that I really want to hear. To be the trusted family member you can count on while learning about new cultures and people is what I want most.
