Experience: 10 yrs
In 2010 I was working as nanny until my daughter was born! Then I began working full time in childcare centers and continued for 8 years. In 2018 I began my Montessori journey! I have worked in a Montessori center for 7 years as a Lead guide and I am currently a Program Director for our Young Children's Program. I have my infant and toddler Montessori Certification through CGMS and I am trained in Positive Discipline. I teach classes both to parents as well as teachers in fostering cooperation with young children as well as a toilet learning classes every three months. I believe in educating the whole child and providing prepared environments that limit obstacles in the path of the child's development. I love working with children and families and have found limited time to do that in my current role. My hope is to connect with families on a more personal level and assist with any behavior challenges as well as day to day tasks and routines so that everyone is happier and healthier!
We are so grateful for Richelle & can’t recommend her enough. She is highly dependable, responsive, punctual & incredibly intentional in her work & our baby loves her! She played a key role in sleep training our baby & made transition to crib sleeping smooth. She brings Montessori mindset into her care-designing our baby’s play area to encourage independence and exploration & engaging our baby in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways. She has been a great positive influence in our lives!
