Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am a preschool teacher and mom of 2!  I have a tween daughter and a son in high school. I love designing classes to help facilitate the socialization our kiddos are missing out on during this time. Many of my classes have been created based on requests from my children and their friends, and I am so excited to get other learners their age involved and building friendships around the world. 

On Outschool:

I teach weekly Girls Clubs where learners decide our topics, games, and themes. Learners lead the discussion with teacher prompting and topic suggestions when necessary!

 I also have a passion for teaching teenagers how to build a successful babysitting business! I started my babysitting business at the age of 11, and kept it thriving until I graduated from college! I want to share my secrets for gaining the respect of parents and love from the kiddos so your teenager will be asked to babysit again and again! We will share new and innovative ideas for activities to take to each job to make your teen a standout babysitter! Look for my Creative Babysitting one-time courses!

 I have a BS in Physical Education and I am a preschool teacher with a lively class of 4-year olds! I am constantly amazed at their ability to soak in information at this age. I love watching my students transform from shy and skeptical to exuding confidence and a love for school. I believe students who enter Kindergarten with a solid foundation will thrive and have an advantage when it comes to learning new skills. 

 I value learning through hands-on and collaborative experiences. I believe learning should be fun and engaging to encourage a lifetime love of learning! I love to hike, kayak, fish, and spend every moment possible at the beach! 

I look forward to meeting your learner in the classroom!
