About Jamie

I have a Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology and have taught preschool-elementary age kids. I have cared for newborns, babies and toddlers in their homes and developed bonds with area families whose kids I have been with from infancy-school age. I am inspired by connecting with children and exploring their interests. Kids I care for have fun and learn. We will engage in pretend play, arts and crafts, reading books and storytelling. I love going for walks and running around outside. Getting messy is fine and I encourage kids to clean up and learn to take care of their things. I am nurturing and playful. I am experienced with positive behavior management and respectful of children as individuals. Communication with family members regarding the children is vital to having a relationship that works. I am very health and safety conscious. I love animals, cooking, music and nature. I am the lucky mom of a funny, smart and loving young man. I prefer p/t but flexible.
