ABOUT ME My wife Vanessa and I are musicians for children, families, senior living facility residents, and those with intellectual or developmental disabilities. I give piano, guitar, and ukulele lessons, and have also worked with adults with developmental disabilities, while Vanessa is a certified Montessori instructor for ages 3-6. She has worked for many years in a Montessori classroom, and is also an experienced nanny :-) We are both very kind, easy going, and respectful guests, and are very appreciative whenever someone is able to host us! We try to return the favor whenever possible :-) I want to mention that we got our one negative review on here while we were staying in Mexico because the internet in Mexico was not working for us at the time, so we couldn't properly correspond with our host. But we really do try our best to be as communicative as we can, and we never have any problems if we do have the internet!
