Everyone around here refers to me as Gramma. My first grandson came to school here in 1986. He called me "Gramma". I have been called "Gramma" ever since! I love the endearing title and the little ones that call me "Gramma".I have two children and 8 grandchildren.

I have two degrees; one in Early Childhool Education and the other as a Registered Nurse. Many years ago, I felt God had called me to be a teacher. I have followed His prompting with all my heart ever since.

I have been a Sunday school Kindergarten Teacher for 30 years and a Preshcool Choir Teacher for 3 years at Trinity Baptist Church in Livermore. I have been the director of Love and Care Christian Preschool for 24 years.

I feel that the staff, parents, and children at Love and Care are my extended family. We all work together toward the same goals. I wake up every morning looking forward to the smiles, laughter, tears, and challenges of my family, my school, and my classroom.

This is my second year working at Love and Care. It has been wonderful! I am married and we have a five-year-old little girl that keeps me very busy when I am not working. I decided to become a preschool teacher 4 year ago. I completed my early childhood development program at Chabot College. I have been teaching for 3 years. I have enjoyed ever moment of it. I have always loved children and I am so blessed to now be able to make a differance in their lives.

I have three sons and have been married for almost 15 years. I have been teaching for over nine years in Sunday School and Children's Choir at Trinity Baptist in Livermore and Preschool at Love and Care in addition to my own in-home daycare. I have completed the Early Childhood Development Program at Las Positad College with an Associate Teacher Certificate in August 1999. I have various other certificates in Early Childhood Development.
