I am an experienced caregiver and educator with decades of hands-on childcare experience. My caregiving spans all stages of life, from infants to older adults, giving me a broad and steady perspective. I am the mother of four adult children, including two with special needs. I hold a BA in Psychology with minors in Leadership and Human Resource Management. I have supported children across a wide range of developmental stages, learning styles, and family needs, including neurodivergent children and those with complex medical needs. I taught art at a private Christian school and have extensive experience supporting school-aged children with daily routines, homework, creative learning, and age-appropriate independence. As a former military spouse of 20+ years, I bring reliability, adaptability, and strong organizational skills. I value reading as a foundation for learning and critical thinking, and encourage children to listen, read aloud, and talk about what they read.
