About Prudence

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm Pru. Kids actually like me, and I like them right back. I don't just "watch" kids-I get on their level, listen to them, and treat them like the real people they are. I show up ready to help them explore, learn, and grow, and when I'm with them, I'm with them-not scrolling my phone, not waiting for the clock to run out. The only time my phone comes out is if I catch a moment worth saving (with your permission). I use a mix of structure, humor, and common sense, and I believe in clear communication with both kids and parents. My background in ABA means I know how to support neurodiverse kids, but I'm just as happy with toddlers, teens, and everything in between. Just a heads up: I'm already booked with a family on Mondays until their boys are in school, so I'm not available that day. But if you need someone part-time (or even full-time, minus Mondays) who can step in and actually make your life easier, let's talk. If you want someone reliable, real, and not easily rattled, I'm it.

Prudence snapped beautiful Mother's Day photos for my family a few years back. The photos were lovely and Prudence was a joy to work with.
