About Carolyn

Experience: 3 yrs

I find great joy in working with children, especially young children, and helping them grow. I like to find creative ways to get children outside and explore the world around them. I revel in storytelling and find it beautiful to help facilitate for a child the process of learning different ways to express themselves and learn about their environment. I prefer to be interacting/engaged versus watching a screen. I value a healthy lifestyle and find balance in my life through meditating, dancing, nature walks, cooking, singing, reading, and fostering relationships with my community. I practice mindfulness and value open and honest communication. I feel that I have found a good balance in finding a way to mentor that is fun and engaging for the child but also provides gentle redirection when needed. I find joy in raising children, keeping the house tidy, creating and mending clothes, and preparing food to nourish others. I would like to help make your family's life easier.

Carolyn has taken care of my Siberian Husky a number of times, and is an amazing caregiver. Sometimes it has simply been to take the dog for a walk when I am busy with work, and other times she has cared for my dog at my home for a week or longer. I trust her fully with both my fluffy companion and with my home. She is professional, friendly, greatly fun and responsible with kids and animals, trustworthy, and very kind. Both myself and my dog are very happy to know Carolyn, and I will certainly hire her to provide care again and again.
