As the Infant/Toddler Specialist Coordinator for the Program for Infant Toddler Care Region IV, I cover three counties in the South Bay Area: Alameda, San Mateo and San Francisco. I outreach into these counties to meet the needs of Infant Toddler Caregivers in training in the PITC six Essential Policies which go toward raising quality care for very young children in Group Care outside their families.

I also teach in the Community College system at Canada and De Anza Colleges, and support the PITC Demonstration site at Chabot College. Previously to training with PITC PQ I worked in the area of Parent Education through the local school districts in San Mateo. I have a certification in Psychiatric Social Work from the UK and specialized in work with families and their adolescent children before coming to the States from UK in 1975.
