Hi, my name is Nadia Johnson. I’m a proud mother of two daughters, and I’ve been a preschool teacher for over 10 years. I hold bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and Criminal Justice, and I’m certified in CPR and food handling. In addition to my work with young children, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for elderly individuals, bringing the same kindness and patience I have with kids. I’m outgoing, funny, and kind, with a big smile and a nurturing spirit. I absolutely adore dogs—I have two of my own—and I love creating a warm, joyful environment for both kids and pets.
