A little bit about me

Previously, I have had careers as an elementary school teacher and a birth doula. I have seven adult children and many grandgifts, but apparently I haven’t had my fill of kids because I have loved being a nanny since retiring. I enjoy teaching “my” littles and keeping them engaged whether they are six months or six years. I read multiple books daily to the children I care for from infancy on and make our time together fun. For example, this spring I taught 3.5 year old Vivian to write letters and draw by using shaving cream on the kitchen counter for her to write and draw through. We spent time going on nature walks collecting treasures like acorns and shiny rocks. We made valentines & mailed them to grandparents. We had fun making cupcakes for “IT’S NOT YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY” which we sang. When she was younger, simple activities like blowing bubbles and counting them was fun. My time with her and big sister ended as she began preschool. I look forward to a new baby to love & care for.

"Stefan has always been professional and timely with great communication. His education and experience as a paraprofessional in the schools made him an ideal choice for working with my ADHD son.
