MY BACKGROUND
I'm dedicated to helping parents
With a rich and diverse career spanning over 40 years, I have dedicated my professional life to supporting parents and enhancing the quality of childcare and parenting practices. Since the time I was in kindergarten, my dream was to be a teacher. My journey began with a deep passion for early care, which led me to a degree in early childhood education and roles such as an early care educator, childcare resource and referral director, quality enhancement consultant, trainer, podcaster, author, and content creator.
As an entrepreneur, I have successfully owned and operated over five businesses focused on childcare and parenting, My extensive experience in the non-profit sector as a child advocate has equipped me with unique insights into the challenges parents face and the solutions that can make a real difference.
Additionally, as a social media influencer focusing on common sense parenting, I have amassed a following of over 343,000+ sharing practical advice and support with a wide audience. In this role, I advocate for effective common sense parenting strategies reflecting my lifelong dedication to empowering parents and improving the lives of families.
MY STORY
I've been there, so I understand.
I am a mother of four and grandmother of eight and understand the challenges of parenting firsthand. While I may not be a certified parenting coach or expert, I bring hands-on experience from raising children myself. My insights come from real-life challenges and successes, providing practical and relatable advice for other parents.
With over 40 years of experience in early care and education, I have tackled just about every parenting hurdle imaginable. As the owner of an enhanced childcare referral agency I have had the privilege of interacting with hundreds of parents.
I also served as a co-founder and a board member for a local, non-profit community agency providing services for children 0-5 and their families.
As a trusted mentor and social media influencer in Common Sense Parenting, I share practical advice and support with parents everywhere. I’ve also authored several insightful parenting books and have traveled the country as a keynote speaker at early childhood conferences in the US and Canada.
I am here to help you navigate the ups and downs of parenting with confidence and ease, using common sense.
