I have been working in childcare for over 15 years and at FitKids for 3.5 years.  I have a bachelor’s of science degree in early childhood education from Plymouth State University.  Childcare is my passion because I love being a part of the development process, learning, and playing that the children do every day.  I help them learn how to laugh and enjoy just being a child, but I also teach them the social skills and education that they need to succeed in school.  They know that they can trust me and that I am there for them every day, and I know that they make me laugh and smile and yes even challenge me daily.  In my personal time, I love arts and crafts.  I make beaded jewelry, crochet, paint, and love photography.  In the summer I like swimming, kayaking, and spend a lot of time at the lake or the beach.  I also like exploring in the mountains.  I love spending time with my golden retriever Kylie.  She is super sweet and likes lots of attention, kind of like the children.
