My name is Janelle. My husband and I have been resource parents in northern Los Angeles County since 2015. I have been in education since 2008, teaching both language arts and social studies for grades 5-8. I also have worked as an independent study teacher assisting homeschooling parents.
As I have been blessed by other educators' and foster parents' help through my journey in both worlds, I want to offer the same help given me. If you have any questions about either foster care or education, please feel free to contact me. I'd also love to know about other resources that I could add to this site that have helped you.
Best,
Janelle Burkholder
