I am a retired elementary school teacher, NY Certification N-3,. I am a grandmother to 5 grandchildren, all living close to me, 21, 16, 7, 6, 3. The 16 year is a child with Down Syndrome. I was his primary care giver, since birth till he started High School, as well as to his brother, 7, since birth to 6 years old, when his mother stopped working due to the pandemic. I have cared for many children part-time as needed, ages 8 months thru 12 years of age. I enjoy reading, arts & crafts, nature, walks, swimming, outside adventures, dancing, singing, laughing with young children. They teach me as much, or more, as I teach them. I am considered a young nana by the moms of children I have had the pleasure of spending time with them. I am fully vaccinated; had my annual flu shot this month as well. Read more I have both my BA & MA in Teaching & the Social Sciences. I own my own car, live locally with my husband, a retired police officer and our big chocolate lab. We moved to Florida in 1996. I like spending time with little ones.
