A little bit about me
With over seven years of extensive experience as an Adventure Nanny, Forest School Guide, and Children's Rock Climbing Program Director, I emphasize gentle-parenting techniques and nonviolent communication strategies as well as Montessori principles that focus on respecting and understanding the natural world.
As an Adventure Nanny and Forest School Guide, I developed and implemented educational activities, emphasizing hands-on learning experiences in nature. A springtime nature walk includes lessons about forest ecosystems and plant identification to sustainably forage for ramps and fiddleheads prepared in a cooking lesson.
I bring my passion for outdoor adventures to foster respect for nature through mentorship of rock climbing, mountain biking, cycling, hiking, skiing or kayaking. Time outside boosts overall wellbeing for an infant in a carrier, and outdoor sports inspire self-confidence and perseverance for advanced development.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Grace! I’m 20 years old and graduated from Eisenhower in 2022. Right now I’m modeling part time and looking to replace my barista job with a nannying job because I think it would be far more fulfilling for me! I have over 2 years of experience working with children of a variety of ages as a swim and gymnastics teacher at Gymnastics Plus. I have a bit of experience with special needs children as well because I’ve babysat my cousin who has Cerebral Palsy along with some other conditions that require extra/different types of attention from caregivers. I love nature, sports, cooking, art, and animals and would love to be able to share my hobbies with some kiddos! (FYI I am not CPR and First Aid certified right now but I would have no problem renewing those certifications!)
