I have been working as part of the nursery staff since 2002. I first started as a sub for the previous nursery attendant, and then when she retired I took over the main position of nursery attendant. I have grown up as a part of the Bethlehem Family my whole life and used the nursery myself as a child.
I graduated from South Central College with an A.A.S. Degree in Early Childhood Education. I not only use this degree while working in the nursery at the church but at my full time job as well. I am a Lead Toddler Teacher at one of the centers within Mankato. With working at the center and with the kids of the church I keep my CPR and First Aid certification up to date as well as attend other trainings that introduce new ideas and activities for working with kids. I have been working with children since I was 16. As a child growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. When I am not working I like to watch movies, spend time with family and be outside.
