A little bit about me

I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns and hoping to work with a family who is queer affirming :-) Caring for kids is really special for me because I myself was raised by nannies and au pairs and truly understand how impactful they can be on a child's life. I bring playfulness, patience and compassion to the kids I work with, and absolutely love outdoor activities as well as more introspective artistic projects indoors. It is my joy to get to know kids and what sparks their interest and do my best to meet them where they are at. I've been teaching yoga for over 10 years and enjoy integrating mindfulness into the households I work in. Let's connect! :-)
