A little bit about me
I have over ten years of childcare experience with three years in an outdoor education setting. My diverse background nannying to early childhood education has helped me develop the tools to create a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment for children. I believe in meeting each child where they are at, both emotionally and cognitively, and am able to adapt my approach to each child's unique needs.
I am a strong advocate for outdoor and play based learning environments where children can connect with the world around them through hands-on experiences. This translates between my teaching and nanny practices.

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."
- Laila
Nanny Silvana
"Silvana was a very nurturing nanny. She had the difficult task of being the first nanny to care for my 6 month old son. She knew what to do and helped my son quickly overcome the separation anxiety. She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."
