A little bit about me

I am a sweet, experienced and inspired Pre-School Teacher/Nanny with a passion for creative, developmentally appropriate, art infused, play based, and skill building education. I have a passion for incorporating the varied ideals of Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, mindfulness, emotional intelligence and FUN into an integrated experience. I am enthusiastic about developing imaginative games, songs, and activities as individual as the children that participate in them. I care deeply for what I do. I am in this field because I love children, love, love, love, love them! I want every child in my care to have the most inspired growth possible; that is my goal.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have taught many classrooms; taking journeys into the depths of exploration and developed imaginative games, songs, and activities as individual as the children that participate in them. Through all of my experiences I have found that creativity, exploration and adventure deeply influence development. Early education provides an amazing opportunity to guide children towards an inspiring future; I am honored to be part of this transformation.

My experience with special needs children...

The most important part about being a nanny...

Honestly there are a treasure trove of amazing experiences I have had while working with children in and out of the home; from spontaneous dance parties, to laughter over spilled blue paint, to unexpected plays - the rewarding experiences are never ending!

If I had to pick a favorite moment I would say that is less about a particular instance and more about what I am trying to impart as a teacher. I am a truly light hearted and loving human and I really care about children developing compassionate empathy, a strong self-worth, emotional intelligence and a growth mindset.; it is my life's work. So, when I notice children beginning to engage in more kindness and compassion towards plants, animals and other humans I feel especially hopeful and rewarded.
