Hello!

My name is Dianne Bousman. I am an Ivy Tech student, and I will be working in your childs classroom for the next several weeks. I am really excited to be working with your children, but first I would like to tell you a little about myself. I have been married nineteen years and I am forty-eight years old. I have raised two children, and I am raising a set of twins that my husband and I adopted. They are thirteen years old. I am also a grandmother of two children, one seven who has Autism and the other is nine. I was a Certified Nursing Assistant for over twenty years. I was a Foster Parent for over nine years and I fostered over forty-four children ages from infants to thirteen years old. I worked for Head Start for three years, one year as a sub, and two years as a Teacher Assistant. This year I worked for five months as a Lead Teacher over at the Kiddie Academy. I worked with the Older Twos class until Kiddie Academy closed its doors at the end of December. This will be a learning and growing experience for both your child and for me. Again I really look forward to working with your child. Education: I have been certified as a Child Development Associate, and I am currently working on my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. I will be graduating in the fall. If you have any questions or concerns please fill free to stop and talk to me. I will answer any questions the best I can. If I cannot, I will sure find someone who can.

Sincerely

Dianne Bousman
