All about me: I have years of experience working with children from as young as I can remember. I have worked in a variety of different settings; schools, homes, daycares, foster homes, and other settings. I care about the welfare and safety of all children. I believe children are a gift. Children learn better when they are allowed to have fun in the process. It is an honor to work with you and your children. I cannot wait to meet you and get to know you better.
My favorite childhood memory: Visiting my grandmother' s farm, and watching “Mutual of Omaha' s Wild Kingdom” and a Walt Disney movie Sunday after supper.
I began my journey in early childhood education: In church at 12 years old, I took a child development class to get certified to babysit.
My favorite children’s books: “The Little Engine That Could”, and “Mother Goose”. There is a huge list of many other books that teach children fantastic messages about caring, love and compassion, while accepting others and their differences.
