A little bit about me

Hello! I am Kristie! I am a pre-k through elementary teacher, professional nanny & former Doula/midwifery assistant (25+ years). I raised twin boys and a daughter with the outdoors as our community classroom. The foundation of my care is in wholesome parenting support/teaching to developmental growth & seeing the child’s “spark” - meeting the family & children where they are with both joys and specific challenges. I am a joyful caregiver because this is my passion! My skill & diverse experience with all ages from newborns to preschool & beyond is based on SEL, trauma informed perspectives & a deep heart-felt & practical approach that children and their caregivers thrive in finding solace in a balanced life, especially in the beauty of nature. I practice nature-based meditation, enjoy hiking, adventurous excursions, pickleball (with my grown kids) nourishing my people in the kitchen, and reading about ecology and sustainable living practices. Thanks for considering me!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy lots of outdoors adventures, walking, exploring, being outside where children can co-regulate with natural rhythms, sounds, colors, weather.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I included this in my introduction: seeing a child and hearing them, deeply listening and being able to respond with loving- kindness and respect vs. “reacting” to a surface behavior; also, supporting new parents! There are so many resources out there, however, learning to listen to one’s own intuition and inner wisdom is such an invaluable skill to cultivate.

My experience with special needs children...

As an aftercare and preschool teacher, I worked closely with divergent learners, including children with diagnosed with Autism.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Children are unfiltered and so open to life. Sharing joy and funny moments or witnessing a child’s “first” something!
