For the past 8 and a half years I've worked at a Montessori school. 7 years as an assistant, and a year and a half as the teacher for toddlers and two's. I have my CDA and am First Aid and CPR certified. I believe that all children should be able to explore and experience their environment in their own way.

Susan B. says "Heather is great with our three young kids 3, 5, 7. Highly recommend. She helps with dishes and laundry if there is time."
