A little bit about me

I am a student at the CIA, a passionate gardener, rock-climber, hiker and painter. I love to travel and explore nature. I love helping kids through big feelings and play-based learning!

As far as the care I provide, I believe in treating kids like whole, complete humans, gentle parenting and Montessori teaching. As a caretaker, I am a big advocate of play-based learning, movement and staying active.

I am an excellent listener and work hard to help the kiddos I care for work through their big feelings and express them in a healthy way. I intend to nurture personal growth in addition to keeping them safe and cared for. I believe in building strong boundaries and fostering a positive, empowered attitude.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Listening, listening, listening. Most kids who "act up" are just looking for a way to be heard and feel seen. Making sure our little humans feel empowered to communicate and heard when they do is chief among my goals as a caretaker.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My kiddos have made me so many sweet, thoughtful gifts and cards over the years that I keep close to my heart or carry with me through my day.
