More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have worked as an art and nature educator, direct support professional and live-in nanny.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I am an artist, farmer, and musician who loves sharing art, music, and nature experiences with kiddos. I especially enjoy using our imaginations through play, spending time outside discovering the amazing things happening in nature, exploring multi-sensory attractions around town, and creating art and music with a variety of mediums. I also value the importance of downtime and encourage taking breaks and making space for relaxation—whether that means taking a nap, slowing down, or reading a good book together.
My experience with special needs children...
I have experience caring for children with a wide range of needs, including those who are neurodivergent, autistic, have developmental differences, Down syndrome, are physically disabled or use mobility devices, and require medical tubes or other specialized care.
The most important part about being a nanny...
My most recent favorite moment took place while observing a milkweed plant with a 3 year old and seeing a bunch of Milkweed Tussock moth larvae nibbling away the leaves. I said, "Oh, look at those crawly caterpillars, they sure do like to eat those milkweed leaves." Later that day, I watched the same kiddo guide a peer over to the plant and say, "The crawly caterpillars sure do like to eat the leaves." It is always so sweet when an experiential moment inspires retelling and sharing a new experience with a friend.
