About Jamaica

Mom of three grown boys, former teacher, and all-around fun person - kids like me. I like kids. It’s a great match! Credentials: Infant/Toddler Montessori-certified (NAMC 2003), Master's Degree, current secondary English teaching license and real-life experience, including years working alongside an Adlerian parenting coach as a published ghostwriter. Based on research, I believe kids thrive when they feel capable and involved and have ownership. Expectations: lots of movement, sensory play, encouragement, and helping with "real" things around the house. I managed a 5-bedroom busy suburban family for 27 years with kids in baseball, marching band, basketball, dirbiking, skateboarding, music lessons, art lessons- you name it, we did it. We traveled. We made forts. We raised pets. We had a blast. I left the overloaded classroom behind because I wanted something more personal — and moved from Littleton, CO to St. Pete to start a fresh chapter. Former baseball mom. Big believer in independence, mess, and having fun while learning and exploring life. Your kids are in good hands.
