Hi! I'm a student graduating from Vanderbilt in December and hoping to move to Maine soon after. I have short term experience nannying one child, spent a full summer teaching/leading equestrian camp, and have spent every summer since then helping with at least one week of summer camp. This past summer I was a field instructor for a therapeutic wilderness program, leading adolescents and young adults for 8 day on 6 day off shifts in the woods. I'm excited to meet you and your kids!

Hi there! I'm a creative, reliable and caring helper. Along with being a live-in nanny for one year, I have also volunteered at the Toddler and Infant Program at Perkins School for the Blind. I'm currently pursuing my masters to become a Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments, hoping to work with the youngest population. In the past, I've had wonderful relationships with the parents as well as the children and I hope that continues. I like to lead with honesty and compassion.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Tiffani. I am a born and raised Mainer now living in the Portland area. I have always loved working with kids and had an immense passion for education. I am currently a Museum Educator at the Portland Museum of Art and was an Older Toddler teacher for two years. I love the opportunity to work one-on-one or with groups of youth to create fun, educational experiences.
With younger twin sisters, I began babysitting in my teen years and did lots of youth engagement work in college. Before diving into education and childcare in my adulthood, I attended Clark University and received my degree in International Development and Peace Studies. After graduating and moving to Portland, I worked in communications and administrative management at local non-profits. My passions for education pulled me in this new yet familiar direction. Outside of work, I love reading, cooking, watching movies, drawing, and making art with oil pastels!
