I have been working with kids in one way or another since I was 18 years old. I've been a preschool teacher, a teacher's assistant, a summer daycare director, a nanny (for over 15 years), and an in-home learning coach for an autistic child. I have been both a live-in and live-out nanny. I have nannied for families with 3-6 children. I have experience with all ages and learning differences. I have helped high school students with essay work for college acceptances. I am trained in non-violent communication and conflict resolution. When I wasn't doing the things listed above, I was an administrative assistant for a K-8 charter school, became a massage therapist, was co-partner in a successful catering company, and a published author.
