"When you’re leaving your children to work it can be a difficult decision and a challenging transition (for both the parents and the kiddos) but leaving them with Crystal made that choice so much easier. Knowing they were in the hands of another like minded mama who would love on them and care for them as she would her own brought so much peace of mind to us. Knowing they were safe, secure and having so much fun was wonderful. "

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I am currently a teacher, have been a full time nanny and family caregiver for over a decade, and a mother for 9 years.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Early learning curriculum in:
Language/ literacy,
Science,
Art,
Math,
Physical health and awareness
Mindfulness Exercises
Exploration
"Unschooling" (teaching real world skills and lessons, connecting with nature and engaging in the environment around us)

All adjusted to the proper age and ability for each child.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Providing a safe, stable, and nurturing environment that empowers children to find their voice and who they are in this world, without apology for being who they truly are.

My experience with special needs children...

Both of my children have Sensory Processing Disorder, so I have great experience with this as well as caring for children with autism and DS.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Everyday in my classroom is a new hilarious thing one of my students say! I have a quote board of the things they say, it always brings a smile to parents each day ❤

Each time a child accomplishes a new skill, reads a new word, discovers something new about the world.. these are all precious moments I live getting to be a part of!
