Hello everybody! My name is Edie, and I am 30 years old. I recently moved back to Tucson, AZ from Seoul, South Korea where I worked as a traveling English teacher for 4 years. I taught 3-4 year olds (pre-k) as well as elementary school (after school care/tutoring). Before being an English teacher, I worked several child-care jobs such as: live-in nanny (1.5 years), preschool teacher (1 year due to COVID), and nanny/babysitter (7 years). Before working with kids (and while working with kids), I was a Certified Nursing Assistant and have worked in a long-term care facility as well as a private 1:1 caregiver for an elderly client. In addition, I have experience with multiple health factors including mental and physical disabilities, I have taken courses in child psychology and developmental psychology, and I was a girl scout for 6 years! When it comes to childcare, I believe in patience, fun and the promotion of education while spending time with children. Healthy snack creations, backyard activities that promote exercise, games that encourage imagination and enhanced thinking skills.. I have a long list of fun foods and creative activities tried out with my students, siblings, family members and past children I've cared for that always bring joy and smiles to a child's face.
