I am a recent graduate of Western Governors University with my degree in Educational Studies. Go Night Owls!! I have spent the last 10 years working as a career nanny. In that time, I have had the opportunity to care for and teach many wonderful children of all ages. I have also been a swim instructor going on 8 years, mostly working with young children but I have had the pleasure of being able to teach adults too! Between being a nanny and a swim instructor, I have developed a passion for teaching that continues to grow every day. I enjoy the challenge of differentiating my teaching so that I can reach each child, as all learning styles are not the same. I am a big advocate of question asking! Serious questions or silly questions, I encourage my students to find the answers to them all. I truly believe that asking questions is the only way we can push ourselves to know more. I also firmly believe that we should “take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!” as Ms. Frizzle would say. I want to foster an environment for my students that lets them know we will make mistakes, but that is how we learn and grow!
I really appreciate you taking the time to check out my portfolio. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments.
