About Colleen

Hello, I am an energetic mother of 3 older children. They are out of the house (one working and 2 in college). I have been happily married for 30 years. I attended college for approximately 3 years. My major was Psychology. I did take many classes in Child Development, which came in handy for me in the raising my own children. While attending college I worked in a preschool and for an airline. Although my work as a preschool teacher was long ago, I still have quite a repertoire of songs and art projects. I worked as a flight attendant and in management for 17 years. The recurrent annual training in first aid, CPR and safety emergencies was ingrained in my mind. In addition to my calm under pressure attitude, on the occasions when I was put to the test, I felt I was well prepared. Later, when I worked in In-Flight Management I was responsible for managing a group 200 flight attendants. In addition to this, I would work in the hiring and training of new flight attendants. With the closing of the airlines West Coast operations, and the birth of my third child, I decided to stay home. My time raising my children was busy, but I always found time to work in their classrooms, volunteer for heading up fundraisers and teaching religious Sunday classes to 2nd and 3rd graders, (lots of arts and crafts) and other community charities. I have always been drawn to working with children. I love to work with babies and watch and assist in their development. I also love working with school age children as well. I enjoy tutoring, homework help, arts and crafts, hiking/walking and preparing healthy snacks or meals. As a mom, I know how precious your children are to you! I know that you need to have piece of mind that they are in good hands when you are away. So safety, of course is the most crucial, but also providing a nurturing, and stimulating environment is important. I'm confident I can give you and your child/children the highest level of care. Thank you for considering me for your childcare needs. Sincerely, Colleen.
