Working with children for over 20 years, I have come to see that the connections children develop in the early years support them in becoming the curious, caring and grounded people they want to be. Connections with family, friends, caregivers, and the world around them support them as they venture out into the world taking responsible risks and challenging themselves each day. I have cared for, and supported children in many ways over years. I have worked as a Preschool Teacher, developing strong and caring relationships, and creating lessons that instill wonder and curiosity. I have worked as the Staff and Curricular Lead in both after school and summer camp programs, creating inspiring curriculum, helping children develop connections, and understand the power of their own voices. Every chance I get, I like to share my love of the natural world with children, exploring and developing new understandings that will help Read more them as they move forward. I have also been trained in CPR and First Aid and have worked in the role of Health Care Assistant in our local elementary school, supporting children with diabetes.
