About Joy

Hi! I'm Joy. I have been a 3rd grade public school teacher for 5 years. Aside from that, I have experience working with children aged 0-12 through student teaching and volunteering at my church's VBS and Sunday School. I love helping children get creative and explore the world around them! I am passionate about social/emotional learning and infuse that into everyday moments. I am empathetic but also stern when situations call for it and can be just as stubborn as the kids. Looking to do in-home daycare or tutoring for children 0-12 yrs. My husband and I just welcomed our first baby in February so I am looking to transition to a work-from-home or part-time role where I can still be with her and have flexibility. Ideally I would provide care/instruction from our home, but I can travel short distances. We live in a calm walkable neighborhood with parks nearby and have 1 cuddly cat named Suki.
