About Haven
Experience: 8 yrs
I see childcare as an opportunity to shape a child's sense of safety, confidence, and curiosity about the world. With over 7 years of professional childcare experience, I bring a composed, intuitive presence, while also making sure to stay playful and engaged; allowing me to connect with children naturally. I value therapeutic incorporation of time outdoors, the arts, and meaningful conversation into daily routines. With experience in child behavioral support, I am especially attentive to helping children navigate new emotions. I teach coping techniques such as breathing exercises, movement-based outlets like yoga and gymnastics, and creative or music-based expression. For families, I offer reliability, discretion, and a strong sense of responsibility, balanced with kindness and safety. My goal is to seamlessly support your household while being a steady, positive influence in your child's life.
Most recent review
Haven has worked with my family for several summers and still helps us occasionally throughout the year caring for my son. My son has special needs, and as any parent in that situation knows, it takes a very special person to step into that role. Haven is one of the only people I fully trust to leave my son with. She is patient, attentive, responsible, and incredibly kind. Most importantly, my son absolutely adores her. He lights up when he knows she is coming, which says everything about the way she cares for him and the connection they have. Over the years I’ve watched her handle everything from daily routines to unexpected situations with maturity and calm. She is dependable, communicative, and naturally nurturing. She has a wonderful ability to meet kids where they are and make them feel safe, understood, and valued. As a parent, peace of mind when leaving your child with someone is priceless, and Haven gives me exactly that. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.
