During the last 16 years, I have worked with all ages of children in childcare settings.  It has been a job that is totally rewarding personally.  Families entrust me to care for the most precious part of their lives and I get to encourage children’s growth and development in a variety of fun and stimulating ways.  My undergraduate degree is in human ecology from the University of Minnesota.  I also have a master’s degree in public health administration from the University of Minnesota.
