About Noelle

As the oldest of 4 siblings, I've been watching kids all my life, both in various neighborhoods and in my extended family. In particular, my younger siblings were 8-10 years younger than I was and I was often their caretaker throughout their toddler years and beyond. My first job out of high school was working as a teachers' aide in a preschool, where I worked up from leading2-year-olds in daily activities to Pre-K where I helped children do pre-reading activities. I've been teaching and mentoring teenagers as the director of public high school theater programs both in the DC area and the San Francisco area.
