As a dedicated homeschool mom of two energetic boys, I have firsthand experience in creating engaging, educational, and nurturing environments for children of all ages. I hold a degree in psychology and have completed doctoral coursework focusing on child development and behavior, giving me valuable insight into children’s emotional and cognitive needs. In addition to my experience as a homeschool educator, I have worked as a substitute teacher, allowing me to adapt to different age groups and learning styles while maintaining a structured, supportive atmosphere. My passion for working with children extends beyond academics—I prioritize their safety, well-being, and emotional growth through patience, creativity, and compassionate care. I am excited to provide families with reliable and enriching childcare, whether it’s through play-based learning, homework help, or simply ensuring a fun and safe environment for their little ones. Let’s connect to see how I can support your family!
