About Colleen

Fostering a child's growth and development has been my life's work for the past 20 years. My background includes 12 years teaching at a university-affiliated childcare center, along with experience as an elementary teacher, special education tutor, and residential counselor. I hold a graduate degree with extensive coursework in Early Childhood Education. I am a Certified Teacher and hold CPR Training and First Aid Training. I currently work remotely writing social/emotional curriculum. I am a patient, creative, and approachable caregiver who thrives when engaging children through outdoor sports, board games, or educational activities. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a consistent environment. I prioritize your preferences for communication, whether through daily verbal updates or quick texts. I am eager to bring my expertise to your family, and I look forward to the possibility of helping your children learn and thrive every single day.
