Summary
I'm a professional administrator moving towards retirement from the field of education. I bring a positive, experienced energy and have a passion for the Montessori Philosophy and Pedagogy. I will share my patience for with children, professionalism for your family dynamics, organization for your household, and flexibility and respect for daily routines and family interactions.
I've lead a very successful career for 25 years and will be successful in keeping your environment organized and supportive with your children in safe behaviors, adhering to your family needs. I've raised two independent and good-natured young adult children and understand diverse child and household priorities and can apply strong organizational and multitasking abilities. I'm highly responsible and diligent with strong communication skills.
My experience in education and mother of two have given me the foundation of knowledge about managing school schedules, extracurricular activities and entertainment to achieve optimal playtime and schoolwork balance.
I'm an avid CrossFit Master's Athlete and coach, very active outdoors when I'm not working and focus on optimal health and well-being.
