About Meryl
Experience: 3 yrs
Hello! I'm a gentle, play-loving and grounded mama to two young adults. Caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. With years of hands-on parenting experience and a background as an assistant teacher at a Waldorf school, I bring a nurturing, creative, and rhythm-centered approach to childcare. My childcare values are aligned with the Waldorf educational philosophy -- nurturing growth through nature, creative play, storytelling, art and gentle structure. I love watching children discover the world at their own pace!
Most recent review
Meryl was great! Our two-year-old daughter instantly warmed up to her as soon as she walked in the door. She was very attentive to how we have things set up in the house, and we very much appreciated how instantly engaged she was with our daughter’s reading and learning. We highly recommend her for your care needs!
