A little bit about me

Ciao! I’m Nina. I’ve worked in childcare for over a decade, caring for all ages, from newborns to teens, including special needs. I helped raise my twin brothers and have experience as a doula.
With a background in health and wellness, I bring a calm, grounded approach focused on energetic attunement and nervous system regulation. I’m family-oriented, have reliable transportation, and recently moved back to my hometown of Encinitas. Happy to chat or meet in person!
