A little bit about me

I am a PLAYful, conscious (“retired from California”) preschool infant/toddler teacher and ECE program director who is now a PLAYbysitter! I come to you or travel with you to support your family's needs from facilitating science and sensory play to caring for your fur babies to doing the dishes. I am a naturalist at heart and prefer the holistic approach to life whenever possible and I know my next family is out there!
