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.
