A little bit about me
Hello I'm Rose,
I started working as a nanny when I was 15. The experience of watching two girls grow from babes to beautiful ruffian laddies stuck with me as something I want to do the rest of my life, which I have. My life has been kid- centered, through the study of fairy tales at Sarah Lawrence college, playing Snow White at Pono Learning School (NY), Enrichment teaching for two years at KidsCo (WA) leading/ assisting herbal, wilderness, and horse camps, and work with disadvantaged children while traveling in Africa. I love nannying for the closeness and deep friendship it allows. I tell stories, play games- all sorts, especially pirates, read aloud, teach baking, go boating, clean, adventure, help with music, art, and theatrics. I encourage children to spend lots of time out of doors and with animals (I come with a dog. My personal interests are study at the All Merciful Savior Russian Orthodox monastery, acting, child advocacy, martial arts, and work on a farms.
