Meet our MOPPETS Coordinator!
Back by popular demand, this semester we'll be interviewing some of our beloved MOPPETS workers so we can get to know them a bit better! First is Mandy - how we cherish her!
NAME: Miranda Brands (I go by Mandy)
MOPPETS Title: Coordinator
HOMETOWN: Denver, CO
CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE: First and foremost, I'm a mom. I have three girls, McKinley, Reagan and Madison. McKinley is a 6 year old first grader who loves animals, ballet and swim. Reagan is 4 year old who likes to color and play with my phone. Madison is our sweet little baby who is just starting to get a personality. Last year, I had the opportunity to work with a few other moms and run a joy school preschool co-op. We were able to purchase a curriculum and trade off weeks teaching our preschoolers in our homes. We are in our second year with our 4 year old kids and plan to do a year of kindergarten readiness next fall. I also work as a moppets teacher at Family in Christ in Westminster in their toddler room as well do full time childcare for a friend's two daughters during the week.
FAVORITE THINGS: Letterboxing is one of my family's favorite hobbies. Its like geocaching without the coordinates. At atlasquest.com, you can search for boxes that have been planted in your area and go hunting. There are clues to find the box on the website. Each box has a rubber stamp that is usually hand carved and we take an imprint of all our finds in our own personal letterboxing journals. Letterboxers have their own personal rubber stamp that they stamp in the log book that remains with the box and then log their finds online. We have found 30 boxes as a family.
FUN FACT: My girls are all named after US Presidents.
