I have a background in Education and went to college at the University of
Dubuque to become a teacher. I married my best friend, Scot, after meeting him
in a Children's Literature course in college. In 2009, I was blessed with the
birth of our daughter, Izabella (now 5 and in Kindergarten), and stayed home to raise her. I then found a calling in the field of Social Work and became a support worker for families with children age 0-5, teaching parenting skills, child development,
creating age-appropriate activities, etc. through in-home visits. Our second
daughter, Jemma (now 3), is busy, busy, busy, and missing her mama, so I have
decided to stay home and combine my love for educating and interacting with
children with the ability to be with my own children each and every day. We also have two older daughters, Myranda (15) and Mady (14), who love children and have taken childcare training courses in order to help out at Little Monkeys when they are available!
Other Training:
Mandatory Reporter
Infant & Child CPR/First Aid
Mental Health First Aid
Various Child Development Courses
Breastfeeding Support
Parents As Teachers
Healthy Families America
Brain Development/Trauma
Autism and other disabilities
