Preschool Staff

Mrs. Geer started as a preschool parent and carline volunteer when her children attended the preschool in 2008.  In 2012, she began working as an Assistant Teacher with the four-year-old class.  This experience has given her a wonderful insight into the staff and classroom’s needs. The following year she became the Office Assistant to better utilize her business degree from St. Leo University.  In 2018 she became the Assistant Director, then Director in 2020.  Over the last few years, she has been taking early childhood classes to continue learning about the science behind the teaching while helping the staff maintain the preschool’s National NAEYC Accredittion. In her free time, she enjoys gardening and the outdoors, traveling and being with her two children.

Mrs. Waibel has lived in Tampa for most of her life. She has been a parishioner at St. Paul since childhood and attended Sacred Heart Academy and Academy of the Holy Names. Mrs. Waibel lives in Lutz with her husband, three daughters, and two dogs. Her daughters are all alumni of St. Paul Catholic Preschool. Mrs. Waibel started as a parent volunteer and substitute teacher when her second daughter entered our preschool in 2012. She has been a lead teacher in our three-year-old and Pre-K classes since 2019 and became Assistant Director in 2022. Mrs. Waibel earned her education degree from the University of South Florida and has nine years of elementary teaching experience in Pasco and Hillsborough counties. She enjoys traveling with her family, crafting, kayaking, and browsing Pinterest for new ideas for the preschool. Mrs. Waibel feels blessed and proud to be a part of the St. Paul mission to provide a nurturing, safe, Catholic environment where children are inspired to learn, play, and grow.
