About Dorothy May

Experience: 8 yrs

Hello! I have over a decade of experience incorporating Montessori methodologies, active play, and creative projects to encourage learning and development! Hats that I have worn have been: piano teacher, after school chauffeur, evening babysitter, and the daily nanny and mostly companion. I believe that imagination is super important, and so is maintaining a sense of humor! I have gathered valuable childcare experience in Chicago, Los Angeles, and NYC, and have lived every minute of it! I am very well-versed in managing big emotions, sibling relationships, and handling transitions during the early stages of life, including separation anxiety, handling recent divorce, or changing homes/schools. I am also a big reader, outdoor adventurer, and adaptable home cook who very much has applied the lessons of Ina Gardner. I am looking to commit to one special family, with whom we can partner in providing the best care possible for their children. Kind Regards, Dorothy H.

Dorothy babysat for us and I highly recommend her. She was kind, caring, and responsible. She had a calm and laid back approach that brought a sense of stability and kindness. My girls (8,6,3) felt cared for and connected really well with Dorothy. Whatever family ultimately has the privilege to work with her will be lucky to have her be a part of their family.
