4. Organizing and taking children on outings/adventures.

6. Helping with homework.
7. Teaching social skills, verbal skills, table manners, appropriate behavior in different settings, etc.
8. Teaching good nutrition and the importance of healthy eating.
9. Helping enhance talents and gifts.

My approach to children is simple, show respect at all times, speak calmly and have an approachable, patient, polite demeanor. Healthy encouragement is key to trying new activities and having children reach their maximum potential.

I have full First Aid training and am certified in CPR. I also have a current TB screening record.
I believe this is one of the most important jobs one can undertake, impacting a child's life. I take it very seriously. I work closely with parents and respect their parenting philosophy and needs.
