Summary
Have had the pleasure of taking care of children from 6 weeks and up, for over 20 years. I love to teach kids from crawling, walking, talking to reading, singing, dancing, swimming and enjoying nature. I have also spent most of my life performing in musicals, TV, and writing/performing original songs. I have a love for life, positive energy, and enjoy spreading the joy and wonder, while keeping a safe and productive environment for kids.
