Nine years ago, I offered to watch my grandkids during the day while their parents worked. What began as a simple offer has turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. It’s been fun, challenging at times, but incredibly rewarding. The bond I’ve built with my grandkids is something I treasure deeply, and through the years I’ve learned so much — not only about caring for children again, but about myself.

Still, there have been moments I’ve wished for more support. As a grandma, it can be tricky to find your place among moms’ groups, even though more and more grandparents are stepping in to help with daily childcare. That’s why I created Grandma School: a warm, welcoming space to share ideas, offer encouragement, and build community with others like me. Together, we can celebrate the joy (and tackle the challenges) of raising little ones the second time around.
