Hi everybody! I'm a mother of 3 wonderful grown children, and a mature, calm, responsible, and patient person who enjoys working with children. I'm also an experienced teacher with current certification to teach preschool through 4th grade. I've enjoyed a variety of jobs over the last 43 years in addition to teaching, and most of those involved working with children and families. I'm a huge book and all things language lover, and I enjoy games and making learning fun! I'm also a curious soul who loves world travel. During my teaching career I've taught almost all ages, including: infants & toddlers, kindergarten, school age, parents, college students, and preschool teachers. I've tutored children, provided respite care for parents of children with special needs, and taught school overseas. I currently teach ESL full time at a local public charter school, with time off during the summer and holiday breaks. am seeking interesting opportunities to work with children and/or families.
