A little bit about me

Hi, I am a kind, easygoing, gentle, college educated nanny who enjoys providing nurturing, personalized care. I believe in the importance of play and bonding through positive interactions for child development. I enjoy having adventures, laughing and being silly when appropriate. I value treating everyone with kindness and dignity. I believe every infant is unique with their own personality and needs. I believe in evidence-based childcare practices, including conscious discipline, which emphasizes being aware of my own emotions and reactions, and positive discipline which emphaiszes teaching children how to manage and express their emotions and needs.
I have a MN Infant & Toddler Credential and a Psychology Bachelor's of Arts Degree. I have taken many early childhood development classes including Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, and child psychology classes. I am BLS CPR & First Aid Certified. I am vaccinated for Covid-19. I am a non-smoker & I drive a fully-insured minivan.
