About Marguerite

I'd describe my personality as energetic, enthusiastic, and committed to my job! I have always liked working with kids! This past school year, I returned to DCPS, beginning the year as a sub for 5th grade, having now been hired full time as the art teacher! I'm looking for a job with a kind family who enjoy fun projects, trips to the museums, exploring new things to do around DC. Realizing that the most coveted hours are post camp from 3pm-8pm, I'm happy to prepare dinner & do nighttime routine so parent(s) can have a moment to wind down. In my spare time, play with my amazing tabby Beans, paint landscape portraits and experiment in the kitchen! One thing you should know about me is that I am celiac & dairy allergic. I spent 15 years as a chef caring for those with dietary restrictions. When cooking with kids, I use GF flour. My skills include creative time spent off-line, a calm demeanor during meltdowns, & extending the utmost care so the child feels safe, regulated, and has fun.
