I have spent my entire life caring for young children. My mother ran an in-home daycare throughout the entirety of my childhood, I am now a mother of two children myself, and I am a preschool teacher with my Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I love getting to know children’s personalities and watching them grow and learn! They are the greatest gifts and best teachers. I am certified in CPR and am a certified teacher in the state of MI with 11 years of teaching experience under my belt. Much of my behavior management skills come from methods based in “Love & Logic.” I am always happy to talk more about that and answer any questions that arise!
