A little bit about me

I’ve worked with children for over 25 years, from newborns and toddlers all the way up through school-aged kids with complex behavioral and developmental needs. My background is a mix of hands-on caregiving, early childhood development, child welfare, and education. I’ve nannied infants, supported families through newborn transitions, run my own summer camps and drama programs, and spent the last several years working in school settings with students who need a higher level of emotional, behavioral, or neurodivergent support.

I’m comfortable with everything from soothing a fussy baby to creating structure for a high-energy kiddo, and I always try to meet children exactly where they are. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and experienced in collaborating with parents, therapists, and medical providers.

I want to connect with families who value a caregiver who is experienced, intuitive, and genuinely loves helping kids feel safe, understood, and cared for.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences that help children learn through play and exploration. Throughout my career, I have founded and led children’s day camps, directed drama clubs, and worked in early childhood development, special education, and behavior support.

My favorite activities with children include imaginative play, dress-up adventures, storytelling, arts and crafts, dancing, singing, nature walks, digging in the dirt, gardening, treasure hunts, and hands-on STEM activities. I love encouraging curiosity through simple science experiments, exploring museums, libraries, parks, and helping children discover the world around them.

Whether we’re creating a play, searching for bugs, building with blocks, conducting a kitchen science experiment, or turning a walk through the neighborhood into an adventure, I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun.
