A little bit about me
Greetings! I have two children of my own ages 16 and almost 11, and prior experience as a nanny in addition to an extensive background in early education. I worked in public education with a Virginia pk-6 teaching endorsement before homeschooling my youngest through kindergarten, and I’ve been in private education as an outdoor educator for the past four years. I’m a certified yoga instructor who worked with preschoolers before Covid, and have also given private and group art lessons to mixed aged children, which is another of my passions. I’m outdoorsy, and love cultivating relationships with nature and community. It’s a joy to facilitate exploration, foster curiosity and travel in wonder with children as they navigate relationships with others, themselves and the world around them. I’m looking to focus on one family and provide support and care with the same level of enthusiasm and intention I have had for my students, but on a smaller scale.

A little bit about me
To start off, Im a 24 year old mother to a sweet little girl. I am also one of seven siblings, which means the bigger the family, the bigger the love! Other than just watching the younger children & babysitting as I got older, I have an experienced paid 3 years of childcare services (daycares/preschools) now. Age groups infant - toddlers are what age groups I’m most experienced in but as being a mother as well, you can pretty much put me around around kid and I got it! I am pretty much the energizer bunny (aren’t all moms??) & the kids love that. I do arts and crafts, circle time, nap time, etc (like a daycares schedule) as well! I believe schedules are very important and needed for children if agreed with parents. Now, if offered, my little one would tag along with me but she’s the sweetest, funniest munchkin there is. God bless & I hope to hear from your family soon!
