She brings mature judgement without fussiness, clear boundaries without harshness, and the rare ability to stay completely calm when a child—or a whole household—is having a difficult moment.
100+ children in her daily care as camp director6 infants fosteredSafety you can trust former Lifeguard, Water Safety and First Aid/CPR Instructor; 25+ years reviewing camps to make sure they were taking care of children safely
