I am a full-time elementary teacher with a background in teaching reading. I earned both my B.A. and M.Ed in elementary education through the University of Florida. Additionally, I have experience as an occupational therapy assistant working in pediatric settings. I have been babysitting since high school, and I have had many field experiences with children in a variety of circumstances (church, school, camp, etc.), so I have several years of varied experience. While I have no children of my own, I remain heavily involved in caring for my nieces and nephew. I believe in mutual respect and communication, so those are two values I carry with me--and use--when working with your children and their families. I also do not mind driving children to and from activities, but depending on the frequency of these trips, I might need gas compensation. I am always available to talk or answer any questions Read more you may have!
