Hi! I have been working with children for over 20 years. These magical adventures were as a Speech therapist, a special education teacher, and professional nanny. I strongly believe in learning and growing through play! I'm also the mother of a 24 year old daughter; a recent college graduate. I am energetic, creative, and nurturing. I'm happy to help with errands, cooking, and chores. Your home will be tidy when I part for the day! I am in graduate school, and I am here to pick up hours to supplement my school expenses.
