Caring for kids is more than a job for me - it's a true passion. I value play, curiosity, and encouragement because I know how much they shaped me growing up. My childcare style is warm, creative, and patient, and I especially enjoy one-on-one care where I can fully focus on a child's needs - whether we're playing outside, exploring music, or working on fun, educational projects. I bring strong youth-focused experience as a Youth Career Advisor for the City of Richmond, a communicator with Greater Richmond Fit4Kids, and a guitar teacher for children 4+. I have a reliable car, am comfortable with pets (and call myself an "unprofessional professional dog trainer"), and love spending time outdoors. In my spare time, I play live music, rock climb, and skateboard with my dog Josephine. Parents can count on me to communicate clearly, connect with children at their level, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and independence.
Ezra is amazing. Every time he leaves our house, my wife says to me, "That man is amazing. He should be a teacher." As a former elementary school teacher and school principal, I agree. Ezra fosters a nurturing and engaging environment for our 4-year-old son as they explore music together. Whether they are building a stage out of blocks, experimenting with guitar pedal sounds, or jamming to their favorite songs, Ezra’s passion for learning and loving shines through. He encourages our son’s curiosity and excitement, and we always look forward to their lessons together. Ezra is constantly thinking about physical and emotional safety and never wants push our son into musical work that may cause him to dislike the art. Ezra really is one of the most thoughtful people we have met. Finally, we love Ezra so much, we asked him to join us for a five day family overnight trip. We would not invite just anyone for such a thing.
