About Heather

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing the growth and development of children has been my life's work for the past 20 years. As a certified elementary school teacher with extensive coursework in child development, I bring a creative and lively approach to childcare. I find genuine joy in the energy kids bring into each day, whether we are engaging in outdoor adventures, solving puzzles, or exploring new concepts through educational games. I have been CPR trained and EpiPen trained repeatedly and have been responsible for many students with severe allergies, EpiPens, and insulin monitors. I will ensure a safe environment for your family. I'm happy to assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel, and I am always ready to supervise swimming/playground sessions. I prioritize open communication with parents and will consistently respect your preferred methods for managing household rules. I look forward to partnering with you to create a supportive and joyful space where your children can thrive this summer!

She has the know how to handle various behaviors and be able to redirect kids with a gentle approach that is clear and concise. She is always sparking kids curiosity to want to learn more and feel heard. Heather is also multilingual and loves to travel, inspiring kids to want to learn more languages and incorporating beautiful stories of one’s from far away.
