About Julie

Hi! I am a Mission Viejo mother of 3 (16, 18, 21) & professional yoga instructor. I have cared for little ones since being a busy babysitter, an auntie to 9 nieces & nephews, nannying for friends, to finding wonderful families here. I took courses in early childhood development at NIU and continue to study the latest research and expert advice. I've had great success with methods learned from Dr. William & Martha Sears whom I met in 2008. As a highly involved parent, I managed multiple scout troops and navigated 18 years of youth sports. I have tier 2 clearance as a school volunteer and experience caring for special-needs children. I enjoyed a thriving professional career for 10 years in marketing before focusing in on parenting and volunteer work. When my children were babies and toddlers I was president of my local chapter and regional director of MOMS Club International. I've taught yoga 12 yrs. I'm a life-long runner with abundant energy & love. My hobbies are camping and crafting.
