I recently resigned after teaching 10 years in a nearby public elementary school to fufill my goals of working individually with child(ren) to make a greater individual impact. Most of my plans have been achieved: I work part-time as a virtual learning support interventionist for underprivileged students across the United States in addition to working part time as a nanny for an amazing family! I am currently seeking a final family to join for 1-2 days weekdays/week and/or students to tutor. Before teaching Pre K-2nd grade for a decade, I was employed in a variety of childcare roles, some of which include daycare centers, live out and in nanny, before and after school care, and individual and small group tutor. My current degrees include Masters Degree in Technology Integration into the Classroom and Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education with Child Development and Language Arts majors. In addition, I hold current Read more Adult and Pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications and am up to date on all vaccines (including the Bivalent Covid booster). I have a clean driving record, fingerprints, and background checks. I believe each child develops into their best self by being set up for success with flexible guidance, hands-on learning, high yet reasonable expectations, and patience. In addition, my philosophy includes creating an environment that allows for supervised exploration allowing for meaningful and realistic learning to take place with an open mind, consistency, and a positive attitude.
