Nurturing children and watching them blossom is my greatest joy. For 33+ years, I've had the privilege of supporting families and children as an elementary schoolteacher. My graduate degree and teaching certification have equipped me with the skills to create enriching and educational experiences. I'm patient, creative, and a problem solver. I am married and have two adult sons. I retired from teaching in 2025 and am currently working a part time job at Parma City Schools as a special education assistant. I love to work with others and enjoy being active. I am happy to help around the house and follow parents' leads when enforcing household rules and communicate using their preferred method. I look forward to bringing my experience and passion to your family.
