Hello families! I graduated from Tufts University with a M. A. in teaching. I have experience working in pre-k, kindergarten, and 1st grade classrooms. I also enjoyed being a Nanny for several years. I am an enthusiastic teacher motivated by the belief that all children can be successful learners. I enjoy establishing cooperative and professional relationships with parents. I see all children as competent, creative thinkers and learners who are actively engaged in the process of making sense of their world. Every child brings in their own unique understandings of the world into the learning experience. I would be happy to care for, nurture, and teach your child!
