A little bit about me

My name is Kerry and I've always loved working with kids. Family and community building are some of the most important things in my life and through my own family and community I've learned a lot about meeting people where they're at and letting every new experience teach me another side of life. I am passionate about learning and play and love exploring both light and playful themes as well as deeper ones like emotions, consent, and meaningful work with the toddlers and preschoolers I've worked with. Safety and learning how to communicate needs is also extremely important to me. My family has many different backgrounds and lives in multiple countries in the world which has taught me to hold space for many different backgrounds. I also have experience in the social work field and carry a trauma informed perspective. I am lucky to have had a lot of people hold me throughout my life and I aim to make your child/children feel held and nurtured!
