About Carie

Experience: 20 yrs

I'd describe my personality as bubbly, kind, fun I like working with kids because something just lights up inside of me when I'm around them. I love guiding them and seeing their eyes light up when they make a new connection. I'm looking for a job during the summer until I go back to substitute teaching in Solon and College Community School Districts. I started working with kids when I was a teen and old enough to babysit. I was an elementary school teacher for 20 years. My husband and I have raised 4 wonderful kids who we see on a weekly basis. In my spare time, I like to spend time outdoors, read, and listen to music. One thing you should know about me is faith and family are my highest priorities. My skills include positive redirection, educational enrichment through conversations, reading, and music, and building relationships based on the kids' interests.

Carie steps up to help others in a kind and considerate way. She is gentle in her ways and has an understanding of others needs. At the same time, Carie isn’t afraid to step up and challenge to get the most from her charge. It’s a great balance that benefits everyone involved.
