Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Waldoboro, ME: Ray L.

"We love Ray. They are exceptionally grounded, peaceful, and attuned to the needs of children. They create a felt sense of safety for children in many ways, such as: respectful communication, empathy, gently holding boundaries, employing play and storytelling, and developing a rhythm for the day that meets children’s needs. We love that they used anatomically correct words for genitals while toileting, emphasized consent, respected our child’s pronouns and evolving sense of gender, and helped our child co-regulate when they needed it. Ray is versed in many progressive, best-practice methods and theories of childcare and child learning. They are a creative thinker and problem solver. They are detailed oriented and remember the little things about your kiddo, and spin that into their overall approach. With Ray, I felt confident that my child was in safe hands. We know how rare it is to find someone like Ray in this work. If you have the opportunity to work with Ray, you are fortunate."
