In this ever-changing climate of Covid-19, the world has had to change how it operates and that includes museums! Many of the worlds top museums who house centuries of creative work have had to get creative themselves to keep their doors “virtually” open. Thanks to social media, many of theses top museums have been to able to showcase their amazing exhibits through walkthrough videos and other first hand interactive tools to keep the public’s appetite for art satisfied. Below you’ll find a link to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. who have curated a list of fun digital educational resources for learning at home! This is a great way to pass the time with your children! Over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting additional museums and locations you can travel to virtually with your kids!
As the founder and managing director of Destination Sitters, LLC, a national hotel and event babysitting service, and the mother of two children, I strongly believe that family comes first. I personally needed babysitting when I moved to San Diego 14 years ago. Like most parents, I assumed there were standards for temporary babysitting; in reality, there are no state standards or licensing requirements for temporary babysitting. The idea for Destination Sitters was born! I wanted to Give Parents Peace of Mind® when traveling with their children, so I created strict screening requirements for the sitters we refer. There is nothing like the peace of mind that comes from getting great professional help to care for your children, especially when traveling away from home. I and my partners, along with our office staff, have that one goal in mind with everything we do.
Through the years of working with children, I have been inspired to write three books, and this blog for parents’ and children’s wellbeing. I believe the best way to teach a child is leading by example, with love, honesty, integrity, compassion, perseverance, and personal responsibility. Learning these values and teaching children that all women and men are equal will encourage them to dream big to be anything they want to be!
An entrepreneur for over 35 years, I previously spent years running a construction and design company with two offices in California and built million-dollar estates and remodeled existing ones. For three and half years, I was one of the primary designers on HGTV’s Curb Appeal. I have also been published in books, magazines and newspapers, and have been a featured designer in multiple showcase houses.
