I am a mother of 3 lovely children, now adults. I have also been a pre-school head teacher, and also worked with toddlers and infant programs with over 5 years experience. I have also facilitated after school enrichment programs and craft classes for children. I have had a passion for educating and caring for children since I was 21. I am now a young 51 years old with lots of experience and patience and still love helping parents and children of all ages to thrive in their everyday lives by fostering a loving, respectful and nurturing environment for the care and education of course children of all ages. Our children are the future! I am grateful to help provide the best possible care so they can become happy healthy adults.
