Objective


My objective is to love and teach children while being able to stay at home with my 2 little ones.  I want to fill their lives with a Christ centered example and teach them the basics of ABC, Colors, Shapes, Number and have fun while doing it....and then move on to bigger things, even reading!

Personal
I am a wife and mother of 4 children.  Nate is 13, Kayla is 12, Sophia is 3, and Jon is almost 2.  I love children and teaching them in a fun and exiting way!  I am the daughter of a Pastor, so in addition to all my experience in working in schools, I have also been teaching Sunday School and served in all Children's Ministry areas since I was 12 years old.  I really believe that God gave me the gift of teaching and a special love for children.
