Hi! I am a 43 year old mother to a 17 year old son who has lots of experience working with children in various capacities. I worked for a non profit that specializes in unintentional childhood injury prevention teaching things like water safety, fire safety, car seat safety, safe sleep practices, etc. After becoming a certified child passenger safety tech (car seat specialist) I worked for a children's hospital providing car seats and education to families with special needs children who could not use conventional car seats. My favorite job working with children has been coaching gymnastics. I worked for a non-competitive gym that focused mostly on 12 months-5 years but also got to teach some of the older kids, and eventually got the opportunity to work with Special Olympics gymnasts. After having my son I opened an in-home daycare that I ran for 8 years, closing in 2020. Currently, I substitute teach at daycares and preschools. I love to keep kids active as much as possible and also enjoy all kinds of arts and crafts, baking, games, and am happy to help older kids with homework. I was trained as an EMT but my certification has expired. I do have a current pediatric and adult CPR/first aid certification.
