Summary
I have a background of 15+ years in caregiving for children ages 0-16 through leading bona fide Montessori classrooms, volunteering in children’sministry, private nannying, and household management in a four-generation household. With extensive training in child psychology, early childhood development, and the Montessori pedagogy, I am passionate about cultivating a love of learning in children while guiding them to their full potential through joyful, real-world experiences.
