Johanna Sanders

Community Educator


I have been employed with Bear Valley Community Healthcare District for seven years and have been working at the Mom and Dad Project since 2019.

When I was 5, I was pretty sure I would be a teacher and a mom when I grew up. Today, my role is Community Educator at The Mom and Dad Project.  I am a Certified Facilitator of the Nurturing Families Curriculum. I have the pleasure of educating parents and caregivers in the Big Bear Valley on how to use nurturing skills in their parenting practices. My goal is to reach as many families as possible and help parents engage to become the best parent they can be for their children.

Two things you should know about me:

  1. I’m reliable.

  2. You can count on me. I will always show up and do what I said I will.

My favorite pastime is listening to music.

The best advice I have ever been given, was by a friend who quoted Janis Joplin. “Do not compromise yourself. You are all that you have got.”
