About Gretchen

Experience: 2 yrs

I'm a kind, caring, compassionate person who loves the hands on learning and educating through experience! I have a degree in engineering but use it mostly to bring ideas and projects to the youth I work with. I taught English in Taiwan for two years, helped students complete virtual school in 2020, and have been an Ed tech all for elementary age students. I am experienced in trauma-informed care and education. Baby sitter available. I am looking forward to building relationships with your family and working with you!

Gretchen was fantastic to work with. She knew how to relate to my kids immediately and earned their trust. She was very communicative and responsible. I highly recommend her.
