A little bit about me

I’m a mother of two adult children. I have over 30 years experience with childcare and early childhood education.
I also have provided childcare to many kids other then my own, when my kids were school aged. I believe in that children need to learn through exploring the world and nature. I enjoy cooking and baking. I’m an avid hiker and kayaker.

A little bit about me

I have over 6 years of experience in nannying as well as teaching! Ive worked privately as well as different schools and daycares throughout the years as a Paraprofessional and an assistant teacher. I believe that not only the safety of the children is important, but also making them feel deeply cared for and respected. Showing them patience and kindness is something I strive for when working with my children.
I primarily work with children but am willing and open to help out with many things in the home!
I am CPR and First Aid trained.
