A little bit about me

Hello! Thank you for reading a bit about me - I look forward to learning more about your family's needs!

Young children are a huge inspiration to me! They are little Buddhas, keeping all of us mindful of the present moment! :)

As a childcare provider, I take a lot of inspiration from Waldorf and Montessori schools approach to engaging children in practical work alongside deep play, supported by clear boundaries.

I believe strongly in helping children develop good habits. I'm also a huge screen-free advocate whenever possible! In my care there will be lots of nature/stroller walks, developed rhythms that support your family , and probably a lot of art making or shared cooking if the kids are old enough! I think kids thrive when taking part in family routines and feel a sense of pride when they do.

My hope is that I could match with a family who is comfortable with me bringing along my 3 month old infant daughter some of the time as well.

I look forward to meeting with you!

More About Me

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

I am a current Waldorf teacher in training at Great Lakes Waldorf Institute, and a mom of 2 girls. I have taught children also in arts and theatre camps as a counselor. I have participated in shared childcare (as a parent) for the last 5 years, meaning we host groups of children at my home for extended days. I helped my sister raise her 5 children from when they were infants. As a parent myself, raising my two daughters has been the joy of my life, and I hope to share these experiences as best I can with your family!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love tactile art making with kids, such as drawing, painting, working with clay, or nature based art projects that ground children in the seasons. I love storytelling and reading age appropriate books. Going outside every day rain or shine is an important one for me, as I think it really grounds children to be in nature. I like doing practical around the house things and engaging older children when possible ie folding laundry and baking bread.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping families to stay connected to each other even when other caregivers are in their lives!
