I'm passionate about supporting kids through their emotional development through empathic boundaries that make them feel safe and validated. I'm warm, patient, goofy, creative, musical, Buddhist, and a nature enthusiast! I prefer to communicate with parents digitally (texts or app). I'm happy to update parents throughout the day, though I prefer to limit my screen time when I'm with kids, so it's a balance! If issues arise I always reach out immediately In terms of household rules-I'm comfortable enforcing soft structure boundaries (something predictable + something connecting + something regulating, ask me more about it!) I'm not comfortable with punishments, time outs, or telling children to stop crying. My approach is child led so I like to tailor the activities we do to the kiddo's interests/developmental needs. DM me for examples (I've reached the word count limit lol)!
Kata was perfect for our family. She was fully of goofy energy, connected well with our toddler, and was always on time despite using public transit. I really enjoyed having her in our home and we became friends as well. When we were moving away, she volunteered to help us pack while the kiddo slept. It was COVID days as well and she was great about minimizing her exposure elsewhere, communicating when she had potentially been exposed, and was always willing to test. Our little one was an early walker and generally a bit ahead of her age and Kata was great about interacting with her by her capability and not just her book age. The only reason we didn't continue working with her was because of moving away.
