About Lisa

I am currently a stay-at-home mom of a2-year-old, former nanny, teacher of 8 years, and worked at several daycares and summer camps over the years. I have been home with my son since he was born and worked for a few families since then. Prior to that I worked as both an upper and lower elementary school teacher for Fairfax County and have my masters in reading from UVA. I'm also a certified reading specialist. My son is used to having other children around and loves playing with other kids-he's very social! I'm primarily looking for a playmate for him. I'm looking to work with a family who is willing to bring their child/children to my house as my son doesn't nap anywhere other than his crib, and he still needs his nap. However, if you're looking for something PT I'm willing to travel to your home if it doesn't interfere with nap-time (12-2pm). I also have 2 spare bedrooms for taking naps, a fenced in deck and yard and live in a cul-de-sac in a great neighborhood in Lake Ridge. I do have a large teddy bear of a dog, but he would be kept downstairs and wouldn't be around the children. With my education and background I plan to incorporate learning through reading stories, songs, arts and crafts and other educational activities depending on the age and needs of the child. In addition to the love and care I would provide to your child, I also want to be able to enrich their lives by encouraging life-long learning. I would do this through developmentally appropriate activities with plenty of opportunities for exploring, socializing and engaging. If interested, I would love to provide you with more information. If you would like to know more about me, feel free to contact me.
