About Kelsey

Experience: 8 yrs

I have a degree in child development and psychology from Cal Poly SLO, four years of experience as a lead teacher in infant/toddler classrooms, and four years of experience as a nanny, primarily in a share set-up. I feel most connected to the RIE pedagogy and have a gentle approach to caregiving. I prioritize connection, warmth, and silliness, as well as maintaining developmentally appropriate, firm, and loving boundaries. I'm very comfortable with the daily rhythms of infant care and am happy to work with you and your child to settle into a routine that works for all of us!
