More About Me

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

I have worked in all aspects of the childcare field my entire career (over 15 years), from being a nanny, household manager, classroom teacher (public, private, Montessori), private educator/tutor/homeschooler, special needs caretaker, camp director, and curriculum developer. I am a natural child whisperer and, after working with nearly 2000 children over the years, know the developmental milestones and nourishing practices that will prepare your child for life.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Gardening, going on local adventures (springs, beach, nature trails, museums, animal and botanical sanctuaries, science center), art, music, dance, cooking, learning/academics, practicing Spanish, creativity games, community service, cultural experiences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Safety
Caring
Being an advocate for the child and family, and supporting their highest wellness and interests

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve worked with dozens of children with various special needs, including autism, ADHD, developmental/learning issues, emotional imbalance, dysfunctional behavior, defiance/aggression, anxiety, depression, high energy, etc. I have worked closely from infant through teenage years with a student with Down syndrome.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are so many….

- Witnessing children learn a new language and how to identify plants
- Seeing wild monkeys while kayaking down the Silver Springs
- Growing all of their own lunch in a backyard garden
- Seeing children live out the values and integrity that have been imparted, in wanting to care for people/animals/environments in need
