A little bit about me
I have been nannying part time for a few years now, and have been babysitting for over a decade. I recently decided to pursue childcare full-time, as I am extremely passionate about being a part of the village that helps children grow.
I am a musician (guitar and flute,) a huge bookworm, a rock climber, and a photographer, and love to share my interests and knowledge with kids. I grew up playing a sport for every season, so I am a big fan of trips to the park or backyard.
While I would describe myself as a free spirit, and definitely believe that helps in my work in childcare, I also believe that kiddos require structure to thrive, so I'd say my approach is the meeting ground of fun and developmental.
My primary goal as a caregiver is to nurture a child and help them grow into the kindest, most empathetic and inclusive person they could be, so it is important to me that I work for a family who shares those values.

A little bit about me
I'm an animal lover with three cats of my own at home. I love to bake and read and spend time outdoors. I'm a huge reader and love to spend time reading with children and exploring libraries! I have my own vehicle and am willing to drive and complete errands and chores upon the families requests. I love taking road trips and finding new places to explore. I'm hoping I can find a family with the same kind of interest where I can show case my skills.
