Experience: 3 yrs
I am a mother of three grown children and a grandmother. I have been a teacher for 30 years with 25 of them at the same school system. I took 10 years off to stay home with my own children. I did some child care at that time as well. I just retired so my schedule is pretty open. I am available in the summer for some part time help in your home. .
I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Sandra in multiple capacities—first as my middle school math teacher, and later as a mentor during my time as a paraprofessional in her classroom during her final year with our school. Based on these experiences, I can speak with complete confidence in her abilities as both an educator and a caregiver. Sandra brings a wealth of experience, having taught across multiple grade levels throughout her career. What sets her apart is not just her instructional competence, but the compassionate and structured approach she brings to every learning environment. Her classroom was always a place where students felt safe, supported, and engaged—an ideal balance of academic rigor and emotional warmth. As a caregiver, Sandra exemplifies the qualities every parent would hope to find in someone entrusted with their child’s growth and development. I have personally witnessed the deep, individualized attention she gives to each student, offering guidance, encouragement, and the kind of love that helps children thrive. Her ability to connect with children on a personal level while maintaining high expectations is truly rare. Sandra is also an outstanding communicator. She keeps open lines of communication with both students and colleagues, fostering an atmosphere of trust, transparency, and collaboration. Whether addressing academic concerns or offering personal support, she brings insight and empathy to every conversation. Even beyond her time in our school system, Sandra continues to be a source of wisdom and support in my own life. Her mentorship has left a lasting impression on me, and I know she will have a similarly positive impact on any child lucky enough to be in her care. If you have the opportunity to work with Sandra, I strongly encourage you to take it. Her dedication, warmth, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of children make her an exceptional educator and caregiver. You—and more importantly, your child—will be all the better for it.
