I am a child care specialist with 15 years experience being a teacher, mentor, playmate, faery, and caretaker for children. I am an expressive, adventurous and silly human and I love connecting with children in that way. I also love being creative and using my imagination. I began my journey working in a daycare center at 15 and after that, became an after school care teacher to a class of 4-year-olds. I then became a nanny while interning at 2 therapy clinics for children on the spectrum. The last family I worked for was with a sweet newborn and 4-year-old in Sebastopol. I am so grateful for the wealth of knowledge I gained from the last family I was with, especially in regards to working with new borns and the process of facilitating emotional growth when a child transitions from 3 to 5. I am in graduate school at CIIS where I will eventually become a somatics therapist in 2-3 years. In my practice, I hope to combine art therapy with dance and movement as well as embodiment.

I met Kaitlyn through a respected friend and it was a recommendation that I am so glad I found! With two energetic daughters always on the go, Kaitlyn was the perfect fit. My wife and I work full time jobs and Kaitlyn was there to assist in the morning routine, help prepare meals and tidy up, take the children to their extracurricular activities, and plan various fun outings and crafts for them to do. What made Kaitlyn unique as a nanny was her desire to always introduce new activities for the kids to do whether it's cooking a new recipe, doing a new science experiment, or visiting a part of the city they haven't been to before. She was also a big help with overnight nannying, personal assistant work, house sitting, pet sitting, and running errands. She was with us for 1 year before graduating college and moving to a new state and we really enjoyed her presence.
