About Chiara

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Chiara! I have a background in early childhood education and have taught in play based preschools and forest preschools for the last 10+ years. I also have extensive experience in nature connection mentoring with youth, and have worked in after school nature programs and rites of passage work for many years. I have 20 years of NVC/compassionate communication training, and gentle parent with my own kids. I am a mama of 3, one of whom is in Waldorf kindergarten. I also have a 2-year-old and 5-month-old and plan to nanny out of my home. I'm looking for a child 3 or under who needs care and would also benefit from socializing with my two little ones. I have a big garden/outdoor play space with a sandbox and other fun activities, as well as a dedicated indoor space for play. If this seems like a good fit, please reach out for more information! Thank you

Most recent review

I am writing on behalf of Chiara. I had the pleasure of hiring Chiara to teach in my outdoor early education program. All of us at the school, parents, teachers and children alike benefited from Chiara's thoughtful and loving presence. Chiara has a calm and attentive teaching style that drew all of the children to her. Chiara regularly brought new games, stories and information to our program that related to the children's interests. Chiara went above and beyond my expectations in every regard. Along with her wonderful ability to interact with children, Chiara also has close attention to detail when it comes to the safety and well being of the children. On top all of this, Chiara is also an excellent communicator and overall joy to be with, I can't say enough good things about her impeccable integrity and character. Any family or program would be fortunate to have Chiara working on their behalf.
