Hello, my name is Mandy. I am excited to have the opportunity to teach Kindergarten at Tandem Home Education! A little about myself- I love the Lord and am grateful every day that He is my Savior. My husband Jarrid and I have been married 23 years and he is my best friend. We also have three children. Our oldest daughter Tessa (22) is married to our son in law Dylan, and they have our first grandchild Kaysen- who we love to spoil! We also have a son Tate (20) and youngest daughter Taya (16).

We are originally from South Dakota but have called Arizona home for four years and love it here! I love kids and helping them learn! I was previously an Elementary Children’s Director for 7 years at our home church in SD before moving here. Since moving here, I have volunteered at our Branches Co- Op teaching elementary crafts and choir!

I am praying for a great year in our Kindergarten Class and cannot wait to meet you!
