*Please read, UPDATED information. :-) Hello! I am a certified Elementary School Teacher and have a master's degree in teaching English as Second Language. I have taught Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st grade for 15 years. While in college I nannied for several different families. I have always loved working with children and my entire career has revolved around teaching and caring for children. I have many references upon request! :-) My passion is to make all children, including infants to teens, feel loved, nurtured, and safe. I love reading, singing, dancing, playing, doing art and crafts, and letting children explore their world in order to learn and grow! I have left my teaching career in order to have a more flexible schedule for my own family. I have 4 children, twin 14-year-olds, a 13-year-old, and my oldest is almost 25! So I do have experience with multiples, as well! I Read more can care for your children during weekdays, in my home or in yours. I do have dogs. Please look at my credentials and let me know if you would like to talk more! I love the baby stage and toddlers. My kiddos have grown to middle school age and adulthood and I miss those baby days! I love preschool age as well, helping preschoolers to learn pre-reading and writing skills, early numeracy, doing art, sensory activities, dance/ song, and dramatic play! *Please ask about possible Preschool Classes that I would be interested in starting in my home if there was enough interest! I live in Superior Township, on the corner of Geddes Road and Prospect Road. Thank you for considering me!
