"Lisa is simply amazing! We have 3 kids with a 7-year age spread. Lisa has been helping us since the youngest was 3 (the oldest is now 14). They all love her. She has such a wealth of early childhood educational experience and she is endlessly creative and engaging. She supports the unique interests of each kiddo with outdoor/active adventures as well as a love of books and experiential learning. Further, Lisa is reliable, responsive, flexible, and always up of helping with a variety of household things. Lisa and the kids play, garden, organize, create, and so on. She drives and can do pick ups and drop offs and trips to the library, parks, and so on. I highly recommend Lisa and would be happy to share more!"

"Very present with the kids and always had a great attitude. She's also a hard worker, happily picked up slack around the house and ran errands, even did yard work but not an intrusive presence in the house at all. A good person, trustworthy and kind. Also quite active with the kids. Good about outdoor time, playing, and making things. I moved away to California for work with my kids, but my girlfriend stayed in WA with her kids and when I left, I asked Lisa to do occasional nanny work with for my girlfriend's kids. While my girlfriend seldom needs help, her kids always look forward to Lisa coming over. Lisa's years of experience as a Montessori school teacher means she comes to the table with a ton of tools for working with and relating to kids. Happy to talk anytime, but highly recommend her."

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I was a Montessori teacher and worked with children ages 2.5-6 years for 13 years. I also have nannying experience with children of all ages.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I especially love being outside, exploring nature (I have a BS in environmental science), going to parks and playgrounds or just a walk. I love helping guide children in practical life activities, such as cooking and baking, folding laundry, etc. My favorite is probably cuddling up with a book!
The most important part about being a nanny...
Connecting with the child and making him feel safe in all ways
My experience with special needs children...
I have worked with many children with ASD, ADHD, learning disabilities, speech and language issues, hearing loss and trauma.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Oh, I've been so fortunate to have countless beautiful moments! Some of my favorite memories from the classroom are when one child spontaneously helps another child; when a new concept 'clicks' and the child lights up; when a child is successful in her independence (zipping her coat or tying her shoes)...
