About Joanie

As a mother with a masters in Social Emotional Development, I bring over 11 years of experience fostering children's growth. My background includes working in schools and as a social-emotional support specialist in a play therapy setting, as well as two years as a nanny and 1. 5 as a mother to my own daughter. My passion is helping children understand and regulate their emotions. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am looking for a family that is comfortable with my own daughter joining our daily activities. I provide verbal updates at pickup and regular updates via text or phone call. I am trained in First Aid and CPR, and I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood Development and my masters in Social Emotional Development. I'm a certified teacher, and my passion lies in making a positive impact on your child's life, one playful moment at a time.
