Hello! As a long time childcare provider turned parent of a 6 and 8 year old, my style of care has evolved over the last two decades of providing care. I focus on intentional parenting (gentle parenting) as the structure for care, with a high emphasis on instilling communication skills, logic, and reason into the children in my care. I am kind but firm, a fair cook, and a GREAT communicator. I enjoy creating space for physical activities (parks, rock climbing, trampoline parks, gymnastics, etc) as well as more creative activities (any kind of bead project, painting, sculpting, cooking, etc). We are looking to include some new friends in our fun! I have a tidy and well maintained Subaru Forester and an impeccable driving record.
