Hi There! I'm so glad you're here.

​

Thanks for joining me at NAFCC's National Conferences in: San Francisco (2022), Atlanta (2023), and Saint Louis (2024). I've compiled some resources here for you to explore, whether you were able to join me or not. Newest resources are first.

I believe in Family Child Care as a backbone to our nation and I'm honored to serve you. 

​

Remember, if you need a song or tool, someone else does, too! Reach out so I can pull it out of my ditty bag or create one for you!

​​​​

Here I will publish a few resources for you:

​
