Hi,
My name is Nicole. I am an ESL teacher who has lived abroad for 5 years. Since my return in 2009, I have been working as an On Call Nanny and Teacher. I enjoy the outdoors and encourage children to be active. When weather does not permit, I also enjoy taking the children on bus adventures to the Library, community centers or doing Educational (shhh, don't tell - it's a secret) activities and crafts at home.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Nicole
