Hi! I possess a dual masters degree in Early Childhood regular and special education for birth-2nd grade. The past 10+ years I have devoted myself to teaching children in a way that meets their needs and encourages learning through play, fun and creativity. Also, for 10years, during summers, I worked at a camp as an athletic counselor for young children. I love working with kids of all ages. I am also a mom of two adult children. I have received COVID Vaccination and booster.
Beth joined our family of two little boys (4) and (2) and baby girl on the way while I was in my second trimester. I was looking for a gentle, warm energy to continue in my home and Beth brought exactly that. She is so kind, gentle, patient and fun!! While my kids routines stayed generally consistent, every week looked a little different of what I needed help with at the time and Beth always had an optimistic “let’s do it!” energy to her. Her simplistic and creative ideas for play were always so well received with my kiddos. And her magic bag of play things was always a huge hit. During any down times throughout the day, Beth helped me with meal prep, laundry and some light house keeping which was so so helpful. She became a part of our village and my mom team. I genuinely enjoyed her company and sharing stories and laughs with her in the mix of our wild days in my home. Watching her with my boys and my newborn baby girl (now 6-months) was so special. It all comes so natural to her and you can see within seconds why she is so good at what she does. It meant the world to know my boys were with such a nurturing woman during a big transition of bringing a new baby into our home. And to then be able to trust that my newborn baby was in safe, caring, gentle loving hands with Beth. I am forever grateful for her, we love you Beth!
