A little bit about me

I am an experienced teacher and coach with over 20 years experience with kids of all ages. I have worked in many schools and programs teaching and learning with kids. For the last 14 years, I owned and ran a play-based camp and athletic program for kids 0-18 in Tucson, Arizona called Playformance (www.playformancetucson.com).

My family is moving to Pacific Grove in June and I am looking for part-time work with a fun family. More than willing to do light housework, laundry, and shopping and cooking.

I have a BA in studio art and have taught art for over 20 years in various settings. I worked in preschools, elementary schools, and my own business. I am CPR certified and am a former lifeguard. I am SafeSport Certified and Theraplay level One certified. I love learning about kids and always trying to get better at teaching and supporting them and their families.

I have lots of experience with medications, special needs, tube feeding, and complex medical needs as well. Thank you!

More About Me

Childhood grief counselor: Tu Nidito, Tucson

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think a good nanny supports the parents and children in both practical and emotional ways. I would feel honored to be welcomed into a family's home and would be sensitive to their home culture and expectations. I have lot of experience with children but there is no one more important to a child than their parents. As a support in the family, I would help facilitate a smooth and peaceful household setting so that when parents return their child is happy, their needs are met, and the household is welcoming.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with all types of kids.
My own children were born with cystic fibrosis so I have lots of experience with respiratory care, tube feeding, medication management, IVs, and staying organized with care.
I have worked with many children on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, and other behavioral differences. I love working with kids and families and supporting them with whatever challenges they face.

The most important part about being a nanny...

As a teacher, I love working with kids who are "challenging" and aren't having their needs met in traditional settings. I really enjoy using active play and big body movement to help a child regulate their emotions so they are able to learn and find peace.
I really enjoy the everyday moments of working with kids, especially in their own homes. I love working with parents and helping them become confident and connected with their children.
