I have spent the last 9 years watching children ranging in age from 2 weeks to 13 years old. I have watched children in my house and theirs, I have also gotten the chance to be a live in nanny, and I have helped out on family vacations before as well. I am comfortable with duties such as diapers, light cooking and housework, and homework help as well. I also have a well maintained car so after school activities are no problem either. I am 30 years old and about to turn 31, I have lived in the same place since 2001 and am engaged to be married. I have no children of my own as of yet. I love the outdoors, am an avid hiker, and love spending time with my fiance and my dog doing anything outside. I am also currently in school getting my early childhood education credits. I was born in Orange, CA but was raised in Oregon. We had a large family growing up with 5 kids. My up bringing was fun, a lot of playing in the river and hiking in the forest. I love my job and think that is the secret to a happy life. Love what you do and you never work a day in your life. Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile if you have any questions just ask!

I have a passion for working with children and consider myself a bit of a kid whisperer. My experience & credentials come from the fact that I have had just about every mentor & educational role imaginable with children including baby-sitting at 10, childcare centers & camp counseling in my college years, plus live-in nanny, substitute teaching & private tutor in my twenties. I have two teaching degrees, a B.S. in both Early Childhood & Elementary Education plus added masters work in educational technology. I taught in both public & private preschool settings in Kindergarten, & first grade on the east coast. Also, I have 15 years training in human studies, communication, and psychology. Additionally, I have completed a weeklong early learning intensive course at The Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential. This home-based preschool program is inspired & influenced by Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf. As such I use a blend of the creative through yoga, arts, and Music Together Worldwide with play based exposure to foundational skills for school. We have a piano, 2 guitars, and other instruments. Our backyard & garden provides options for outdoor activities like sprinklers, water table, play dough, kinectic sand, bubbles, etc. Option for up to 4 days per week. Flexible timing would be school hours with the option for after care starting at 2:00 although it would be educational programing or online reading & math. Preschool would run September to June and follow the FVSD school schedule for holidays & breaks. Currently until I'm a licensed home-based preschool I can only work for 1 family. This spot is exclusive, and as such, rate is competitively priced for one family as a private teacher with siblings included.

At LePort, we help our students acquire the essential knowledge, thinking skills, and strength of character required to flourish as joyous children today, and as successful adults tomorrow. Our unique program emphasizes the relationship between the academically challenging material presented in the classroom, and the breadth of experiences children have in their lives outside of the classroom. At LePort School Westpark, we offer more than a high-quality, authentic, Montessori program, we also offer convenient extended care hours (great for working parents!), enriching after-school programs, and even a daily hot lunch option. Our beautiful classrooms boast high-quality furniture and Montessori materials, are full of natural light, and some even offer direct access to the outdoors, giving children the opportunity to enjoy both indoor and outdoor classroom space. Our teachers take great pride in making each room a unique, welcoming environment. As our authentic Montessori school has been open for over five years, children benefit from stable, mixed-age classroom communities. In addition, as more than half of our preschool students stay with us for the Kindergarten year, our Primary classrooms have outstanding role models for younger students, and a great peer group for older ones. All of our head teachers have completed the most rigorous, year-long AMI Montessori certification. We are proud that all of our head teachers and nearly all of our assistants have stayed with us year-over-year: quite an achievement in a preschool setting where staff turnover can be very high. If you are a dual-working family, and are looking for a place where your child will be nurtured and stimulated for an extended day, our campus provides it all!
