Hello all, I am a licensed and certified ELA teacher, with a BA in Sociology and Master’s degree in Education. I have many certifications ranging from geriatric care to swim instructor, and have worked as a teacher, private tutor, home educator, family au pair, and more. I have just moved back to Tennessee from California, and am looking to help families in the area. I am great with animals, children, and plants! I enjoy the outdoors and being active, and have a passion for inspiring others to grow. I am open to supporting families doing anything from plant care, pet care, child care, elderly care, house work, cleaning, tutoring, homework help, and swim lessons. I hope we can connect, and work together to bring harmony, joy and peace to your family lives! Please inquire about any possible opportunities! Blessings!
