Hi Families :) I am looking for wonderful new families that are in need of some part-time or occasional help. I have been caring for children professionally for over 15 years and have studied child development and child psychology extensively-both academically and independently. I have a graduate degree in child and family psychology, as well as BA in psychology with a minor in child development. I have experience working as a full charge nanny, babysitter, daycare worker, school counselor and as a family and child therapist. I am creative, playful, and imaginative. I believe in the principles of nonviolent parenting and attachment parenting. I enjoy engaging in creative and imaginative play, getting little ones outside and moving, and balancing outdoor activity with home activities such as baking, reading, and arts & crafts. I like to encourage curiosity and aim to foster children's natural inclinations. I believe children are whole people Read more from the start, and deserving of respect. I also realize that I have as much to learn from them as they do from me- and that I am a role model for the children I care for. I am extremely responsible, kind, warm, loving, nurturing and grounded. I feel strongly about the importance of a healthy and happy childhood and that all children deserve loving, stable, and caring adults in their lives. I adore children and am experienced with all ages, but especially love caring for infants and toddlers. I currently work remotely part-time as a therapist, but miss time spent caring for children and I am looking for families that can use a little extra help during the week or are in need of a back-up sitter or on-call sitter for date-nights/weekend care etc. I value honest communication, and get along best with families that welcome me as another member of the family- being a nanny is such a personal job, and I feel there has to be trust and commonality in order for it to be the right fit. I also specialize in household help- I can help with light cleaning, laundry, errands, groceries, cooking healthy meals (familiar with allergy friendly and healthy cooking), pet care (I will happily bring the family dog along on any outings when possible), and anything else needed to help the household run along smoothly.

Trust & safety
