A little bit about me

I bring over two decades of experience working with young children from toddlers to early elementary and I genuinely love this stage of life. I’m the kind of caregiver who gets down on the floor to build, create, and explore, while also holding a calm, steady presence that helps children feel safe and understood.
My background is in Montessori education, where I’ve worked as a classroom guide, school leader, and teacher trainer. That means I’m skilled at supporting independence, guiding behavior with respect, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities (think art projects, practical life skills, storytelling, and outdoor exploration).
I’m attentive, communicative, and deeply tuned in to children’s needs, whether that’s helping a toddler navigate big feelings or supporting a child’s growing curiosity about the world. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and thoughtful, with a natural ability to connect.
