My name is Nellie Johnson. I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to Colorado in 2012. I was adopted at the age of four. I am a proud mother of two sons and happily married. In 2019, I obtained my Child Development Associate (CDA) and started working in early childhood education. Since then, I’ve gained experience working with children of all ages in urban and rural areas. Since achieving my CDA I have enrolled in the Pyramid Model course to continue developing my early education teaching skills. This passion for working with children started in 2012 when I went to the Dominican Republic and Haiti to help teach English in schools and visit orphanages.
