As a career early educator, I have been a preschool owner/director, lead teacher in multi-aged preschool, family child care provider, nanny, early educator mentor, music educator, dance instructor, special needs care specialist, early ed literacy specialist, and founder and past president of the Herndon-Reston Child Care Association (professional non-profit). I possess over 30 years of experience working in partnership with children, families, and communities. After intentionally downsizing my career, I still enjoy sharing my love of music, dance, gardening, cooking, nature, and the outdoors with young children and am currently living with my dog and cat on a mini-farm in Lemont.

Tonya helped us with homeschooling and childcare during the recent school and daycare closures (Fall 2020). She took care of our two energetic kids, ages 1 and 5, and they loved spending time with her. She has lots of experience with childcare and so is very professional, patient, caring, and not flustered by the usual childish behavior issues (not that my kids ever misbehave, of course). Tonya is very easy to work with, a good communicator and very responsible. Of course, nowadays PPE and regular hand-washing are the norm for social interactions and in that regard Tonya was more conscientious than most, always wearing a mask in our home and keeping things clean. We always felt safe having her in our home and working with our kids. We also have many pets, which I'm sure would bother some caregivers, but Tonya was very fond of them and had no trouble working in an environment with cats and dogs being around. My wife and I would highly recommend Tonya as a childcare provider.
