About Haven

My diverse background in youth engagement has taught me to pay close attention to how each child learns best and what they need to thrive. I believe children naturally want to learn and explore, and I enjoy nurturing that curiosity. I've worked in mental health settings, where I developed a calm, kind approach to emotional escalation, as well as teaching riding lessons which emphasized safety, leadership, and fun. I hold degrees in psychology and marine biology, and I love translating science and nature into engaging, hands-on learning moments. I'm a big kid at heart-an artist, outdoorsperson, and excellent chef-who enjoys crafts, outdoor play, and exploration. I balance warmth and fun with clear boundaries, professionalism, and respect for family routines. I'm best suited for families seeking an active, curiosity-driven, low-screen caregiver.
