I have been working at FABCare for a little over 2 years now. I started my journey with childcare in the nursery at my church and fell in love with watching children grow and develop. I attend school at Marshall University where I will be receiving my bachelors degree in early childhood education next fall. I love what I do because I get to watch children grow into their personalities and find out who they are as a person and I love that I get to help them develop that.

I am so excited to spend time with your children and help him/her grow. After spending 37years in nursing, I retired and did some traveling. Having our children grown I had time on my hands and loving children, I came to work at FAB 4 years ago. Best decision ever. I still enjoy traveling, singing in church, doing crafts and baking.

I've been at FABCare since Jan. 2022, but never had a classroom of my own. After recently graduating from Marshall University in Dec. 2022 with a B.A. in Early Childhood  Education, I accepted my current position and haven't looked back. I am a child at heart with a love for music, creativity, and discovery, and I hope during your time with us, your child will grow to love learning and creating, too.

I have been at FABCare for over a year and I have loved every minute of it! I graduated from Mountwest in April with my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I will be going to Marshall University in the fall to continue my education. I am also a child at heart like Ms. Laura and we love letting the children discover, explore, and create. I hope during your time with us your child will enjoy the messy fun activities and the goofiness of their teachers.

I enjoyed watching children discover new things and the excitement in their eyes. I have a certificate for ACDS and I am certified in CPR and First Aid. Alongside work I have two ornery and sweet boys, two cats and a ferret at home.

     I have worked at FAB for 20 years. I first found my love of early childhood in college when I had an undecided major. I then took a part-time job at a child care center back in the early 90s. I fell in love with the early childhood profession. Along with my college hours, I completed the ACDS program in 1992. Being an early childhood educator has brought great joy to my life. I enjoy not only helping a child grow and learn, but I also love being able to show the love of God with each one. On a personal note I am married with two children and in my spare time I enjoy my dogs, football, and needle work.
