About Cheryl

Experience: 10 yrs

Available for nanny share! Hi I am Cheryl, I have 24+ years of experience as a primary Montessori teacher, I've had the privilege of not only nurturing my students but also caring for their younger siblings, often welcoming them into my home after school. These special moments have deepened my appreciation for the gentle, individualized care every child needs, especially during their earliest years of life. I believe this foundation is essential, as it shapes their emotional and developmental well-being. I understand the importance of early bonding, responsive caregiving, and creating a nurturing environment where infants can begin to feel secure and loved, laying the groundwork for all future learning and growth. I believe every child is wonderfully unique, and I tailor my approach to honor their individual spirit. My aim is always to make them feel loved, heard, and understood. Proud mom to a 25-year-old daughter who works in exotic animal management:)

Having someone take care of your kid is nerve wrecking because they are your entire world. I’ve worked with Cheryl since my child was 10 months (he is now three years). She is incredible with kids. She does an excellent job of guiding kids through childhood and encouraging play rather than controlling them. She is always going above and beyond to provide activities that encourages them to use their imagination and creativity. Every holiday she has something planned because she knows how special these memories are. She works well with others and has even brought our community closer by becoming friends and introducing me to other families. Even on the toughest of days, Cheryl’s calming presence and her ability to encourage emotional regulation has proven to help my child with his tricky feelings. Cheryl is more than a care giver, she is family. She is an excellent communicator and works with families to ensure that their child is getting the best experience. I’ve never had an issue with nap time or feeding which has been a concern of other parents in the neighborhood. I would 100 percent recommend her for any child care needs and I can guarantee other families that she worked with will say the same.
