A little bit about me

*open to full time or part time*

I absolutely love the complex job of attuning to children to support them to learn and feel safe! I love play and believe play is the most serious work of child development. I balance my strong patience and understanding with clear boundaries when needed.

I have studied many forms of early childhood education and am influenced by forest school, Montessori, attachment-focused, consent-based, restorative justice, neurodiversity-affirming, Waldorf, and liberatory education models of childcare.

Infant CPR certified.
Drivers License & some car access. Vaccinated (4x Covid).
Covid-cautious - I will be masked in your home.
I love working with LGBTQ+ & non-traditional families.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have worked with kids of all ages in many settings across many years -- as a babysitter, nanny, playworker at a year-round fully outdoor preschool, theatre teaching artist, substitute with Chicago Public Schools, and teen dating violence prevention facilitator with middle/high schoolers.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to be outside in all weather, discover new plants and animals, explore art materials, do heavy-work play (very physical, pushing heavy things around), play games, build forts, read stories, put on plays. I try to balance connecting and being a part of the play with also stepping back to allow independent play and unbroken focus.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It is so rewarding to try to offer the environment to children that I wish we all had when we were small. Children are remarkable, unique, curious, and so fully alive - working with kids helps me to stay playful, be a better communicator, and to remember to see the magic in the world.

My experience with special needs children...

While I have not worked in special education-focused environments, I have worked with many neurodivergent children and am familiar with techniques and frameworks for neurodivergent and disabled children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I always love when we get to play for a long time with a silly and mundane object instead of toys. Like when we played with one single stick and 3 specific leaves outside for about 1.5 hours.
