Working at Kids Corner has really enhanced my love for children, they are so creative and silly. They bring a lot of happiness to this world!" |
Lisa“My favorite thing about working with children is seeing their stages of development. I love them all--from the baby who has just strengthened his muscles to sit up to the child that discovers how to read or write his name in cursive. "I am a native of Colorado with three boys, who are fourth-generation Coloradans. I love spending time with my family outdoors and traveling to New England in the summer." |
