I am former preschool teacher and mother of four. I love being a teacher and care giver. I began working with Franklin County Board of MRDD as a volunteer at the age of ten. I began getting paid as a teacher's aide at the age of 12. I worked there every summer until I was 21. At the time I had earned experience as a Teaching Assistant. I graduated from college and went onto work in the insurance field. I just did not feel like I was making a difference daily and yearned for something more. After my son was born I was looking for a way to spend more time with him and still earn a living. I was offered a job teaching preschool and have been doing it ever since. All together I have over 15 years of experience. I can not imagine doing anything else. My husband and I have bought a home in the Grove City area and plan on being here a long time. Now is the perfect time for me to watch children in my home. I can offer lower ratios than public day cares, great meals, lots of love, lots of fun, and creativity, and an early childhood education for the children.
