A little bit about me

Hi there!

I’m Peyton, and I’m someone who genuinely loves being the "anchor" for a busy family. I’m a unique mix of highly organized (thanks to my Master’s in Psychology!) and deeply empathetic, which means I’m just as comfortable managing a complex household schedule as I am sitting on the floor for a deep-dive craft project.

I create spaces where kids feel safe, seen, and excited to learn new things. I’m a lifelong learner myself, and I thrive in homes that value a "teamwork makes the dream work" mentality, a bit of creative problem-solving, and a lot of heart.
