Hello. My name is Amber Mattson. I have taught children of all ages in a variety of capacities including teaching, youth organizations such as 4-H, church groups, etc., community ed classes and volunteer work.

I currently work at the Parenting Resource Center in Austin, MN, as the Family Support Services Coordinator. In my spare time I like to read, garden, go camping, play games, cross stitch and hang out at home with my husband and two cats.

Hi, my name is Jessi Tovar and I am a Preschool Educational Assistant for the Albert Lea School District. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of all ages, from birth to 5th grade, in various settings, including after-school programs, Community Education classes, and as a nanny and PCA.
