• Comfortable with pets

With 15 years of experience in childcare, I bring a deep love for supporting children’s growth, creativity, and sense of wonder. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I specialize in the early years—particularly ages 1 to 5—when curiosity and imagination are at their peak. My professional background includes several years as a preschool teacher in a Waldorf-inspired nature program, where I led outdoor exploration, storytelling, circle time, and creative play. I’ve also worked one-on-one with children on the autism spectrum, and I’m passionate about being a patient, supportive, and understanding presence for neurodivergent kids and their families. My approach is gentle, consistent, and rooted in fostering connection and confidence. I’m a very hands-on caregiver who loves to bring learning to life. Whether it’s through art projects, storytelling, science experiments, gardening, cooking/baking, music, imaginative play, outdoor play, puppet shows, or handwork like felting and sewing, I strive to keep Read more each day engaging and full of opportunities for growth and joy. I also value rhythm and routine, and I’m comfortable supporting potty learning, transitions, naps, and mealtime with care and calm. Families often describe me as nurturing, grounded, and creative. I truly love what I do and feel honored to be a trusted part of a child’s early life. Whether you're looking for a babysitter for a night out or someone to support your child’s learning and play on a regular basis, I’d be thrilled to bring my experience and heart to your home.
