A little bit about me

As a child of an educator, I realized the importance of education early on. I began my teaching career in Asheville, North Carolina. There I wrote a thesis linking art to early literacy. During my research, I found how I could use my knowledge to reach children who might not be innately drawn to art and help access where the child was developmentally through their art. It was a fascinating and rewarding process.

Since then I have been researching and learning different teaching styles and practices. Some of the education philosophies I bring are influenced by my study of Montessori, Regio, Constructivism, Conscious Discipline, Non-Violent Communication and Emergent Curriculum. I’m always open and willing to discuss education philosophy!. Nature is an important part of my teaching style. The students and I have raised Monarch butterflies and chickens and created a Saturday Market with the eggs, vegetables and seeds we grew and sowed. Feel free to join us in the garden!

A little bit about me

Hey y’all! My name is Julia, I’m a momma to a 10 month old baby boy. I’m new to the area (just moved from Florida) with my husband. He’s a blue collar worker and I’m a stay at home momma just wanting to help another family with nannying. I know how hard it can get when life gets a little hectic and you just need a hand, that’s why I’m here! Before getting married and having a baby I babysat a sweet baby girl and it was the most fulfilling job I’ve had! I love being a mom and love children. I can either come to you or you come to me-whatever works best for you. I would love to be apart of a family and hopefully even make a lifelong relationship! My family is yours. Please reach out with any questions!

A little bit about me

I bring over 20 years of childcare experience, most recently as a Montessori classroom guide and administrator. As a mom of four (ages 3, 5, 7, and 9), I understand the real-life rhythms of family life and meet children with patience, respect, and genuine care. My specialty is infants and toddlers, and I’m trained in respectful caregiving approaches inspired by Janet Lansbury, Positive Discipline, and Montessori principles. I hold an associate degree in Early Childhood Education, am CPR/First Aid and SIDS certified, and have a current NC DHHS DCDEE qualifying letter. I’m especially skilled in toilet learning, supporting big feelings, and seeing behavior as communication. I love creating calm, nurturing spaces where little ones can explore, grow, and feel truly seen.
