I have taught in NJ schools K-2 because I love children. After raising my own 2 sons, this became my career. I prefer to care for kids inter own home. My last long-term job involved 3 children: 12/ 11 and 4. Providing meals, I drove them to school, picked them up, cared for 4 year-old 12 hours/day. I was also able to do family laundry and occasional late-night babysitting. With my background in school systems, I consider myself a thorough professional, aware of the key child development strategies.
