I am retired nurse and mom to two teenage boys in high school and two spoiled dogs. After I retired nursing, I continued to work in our real estate office in South Austin. I also volunteer as a Sunday School teacher at our Church and as barn assistant at the Polo Club of Austin. Before COVID I worked part time at a local Waldorf Inspired Preschool which was very rewarding. I am CPR certified and also have all the unofficial certifications that come with being a mom to two boys! They each attended an outdoor Montessori based gardening preschool that gave them a life long love of bugs. My personal approach to playing with toddlers is that all things reading and outdoors are fantastic. I could spend hours in the library reading with young children or going on long walks to the park. I'm happy to help with homework for Read more school aged kids, meal prep and light housekeeping and laundry. All pets are ok, too.
