Experience: 10 yrs
With over 20 years in childcare (including 13 running my own preschool and nannying for 7 families) I bring a joyful approach to supporting children and parents. I believe authenticity is the greatest gift we can offer, and my self-development work allows me to show up with curiosity, compassion, amusement, and warmth. In the past 3 years I've specialized in infant care, including caring for two babies at once, strengthening my ability to stay calm, organized, and responsive. While my preschool experience is extensive, I'm equally at ease with school-age children, and my adaptability helps me meet each child where they are. My approach emphasizes emotional intelligence, creative exploration, flexible thinking, and a connection to nature. My instincts are tuned into when to give space, when to guide or redirect, how to transmute tense energy, validate emotions, and set the tone with curiosity, playfulness, and wonder. When not with children, I nurture flowers on my half acre farm.
