A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Tiffany.
I recently moved back to OH from CO after graduation from Naropa University (where I got my BA in Contemplative Psychology). I'm looking for a position working as a helper for another awesome family. I have nannied children of all ages from newborn to 12 yrs for the past 10 years. Aside from nannying, I teach yoga and do Reiki healing sessions, study and occasionally teach herbalism classes, and work one day a week at a local organic farm. In my free time I am usually making art, somewhere walking barefoot in nature, dancing/free flowing yoga, or reading. I love learning about alternative healing, psychology, anything to do with keeping the mind, body, and spirit healthy. I like to include mindfulness practices into my babysitting/nanny approach as I have seen how impactful this is in a child's development. I'd love to chat about the opportunity of helping your family. Please feel free to contact me with any questions if this sounds like it may be a good match for you.
