Hi! I'm Robin. I have over 10 years of experience working with children in creative settings, as well as a background in nature education, arts and crafts, music, dance and yoga. My mission in nannying is to elevate the whole family through providing outstanding childcare. I am a steadying guide for children as they engage with and navigate their world and relationships. I am present with children though their discoveries, disappointments, and triumphs. My style is mindful, playful and unruffled. With me as your nanny, your child(ren) will be exploring nature, enjoying stories, arts & crafts, and discovering their own creativity. I also offer grocery shopping and meal prepping. I am excited to learn more about your family!

Robin was amongst the best of the best sitters we have ever had. She provided creative, fun, kind, and educational care for our seven-year old twins in the midst of a difficult time for everyone- Covid lock-down 2020-21. Not only did our kids love her (and still want to see her and have her visit or babysit) but my husband and I found her to be a complete pleasure to have in the house. She is intuitive, takes initiative, is a great chef (and does it with the little's), taught them (and us adults) all manner of interesting nature facts, and is an overall wonderful person. We were so lucky to find her and have her in our house to teach and manage the online schooling during a really tough year. My only fear in writing this rave review is that she'll get so busy that she'll never have time to come sit for us again!
