About Payton

Hi! My name is Payton, and I’m an educator currently pursuing my Master’s in Elementary Education and teacher certification. I previously worked as a charter school teacher where I managed a classroom of 32 students, and I now work as a substitute teacher transitioning into public school education. I am on track to receive my CEAS (Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing) in December 2026. I have experience working with students across multiple grade levels in both short-term and long-term assignments, and I love creating a calm, structured, and encouraging environment where children feel safe, supported, and engaged. In addition to childcare, I enjoy helping students strengthen their reading comprehension, math skills, and academic confidence over the summer so they feel more prepared entering the next grade level. I especially enjoy supporting children who may feel anxious about learning new material by making learning feel approachable and positive. Families can expect me to be dependable, patient, professional, attentive, and warm while also making sure children have fun and feel cared for throughout the day!
