A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Casidi, I’m 27yo and have been working with a wide age range of kids via babysitting & nannying since I was around 13.
A bit about me; I’m a nurturing, grounded nanny with a deep passion for holistic living, nature-based play, and supporting children in becoming their most authentic selves. I believe in creating a calm, connected environment where children are free to explore the world with curiosity, confidence, and creativity. My caregiving style embraces outdoor time, imaginative play, and gentle guidance—allowing kids to stay wild at heart while feeling safe, seen, and supported. I honor each child’s unique personality, learning style, and rhythm, and aim to foster emotional resilience, independence, and connection to nature. I am also a certified sacred birthing doula, and very passionate about supporting mama’s natural instincts to feel supported & empowered with their babies.
(Profile says part time but my schedule is flexible & I’m open to full time work as well)
