My name is Valerie Zeko, and I live in Ventura with my wonderful husband Eric and three kids Anneke, Emma and Ben. Before becoming a mom, I worked as a high school teacher (English and History) in Camarillo and Oxnard. After working as a full-time mom for 9 years, I found I had a heart for helping other parents. I started thinking about creating a website for families one day while brainstorming with my friend Melissa on our weekly stroller walk around Ventura Harbor.
I hope that VenturaParent.com helps make your life easier and strengthens your sense of community. Please feel free to contact me if you have ideas or suggestions about additional family resources that you’d like to see included on this site. (photo by Quinn Photography)
