Hello, my name is Holly. I have been working in the childcare field for over 6 years. It is my true passion caring for children. Currently I posses a B. S Degree in Psychology- but I am pursuing a Master's Degree in Nursing. I also have 12 E.C.E units and preschool teaching experience. My mantra has always been: the best fun you can have is fun you've created all by yourself. I believe in raising children through books, sports, song, crafts, and outdoor activities ; not T. V. My husband and I have a 4-year-old son that just enrolled in pre-school. Being a mother has given me a whole new passion, love, and understanding for the childcare field. I spent the last year working for Ventura County Behavioral Health doing group therapy in the Emotionally Disturbed (ED) classrooms throughout the various elementary and middle schools. Aside from bonding with children, Read more my hobbies include: cooking, photography, hiking, sports, and music. I am extremely motivated with excellent references and a desire to grow and learn with the family and child.
