Currently I am a mother to a 5-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl. After my maternity leave with my son, I choose to stay home and watch them grow for a few years. But I am ready to rejoin the work force and continue pursuing my passion. In my pursuit of new employment, I have decided I would like to take more of a leadership role in the Child Care field. It has often been my passion to share my knowledge with others, and offer possible solutions to problems that arise. I worked in an out of school care program, for numerous years before leaving after my second child. During this time, I gained experience and knowledge with Licensing, as well as taking on a leadership role. Having children of my own, I feel I’ve gained a new perspective on what child care, should look and feel like. I’ve always had a passion for learning about development and different approaches to how we can nurture and empower it.
