I have worked with children in a variety of formal and informal settings for the past 20 years, serving as a lead Montessori early childhood teacher, public school substitute teacher, summer camp counselor, nature center educator, and babysitter/nanny. I have over 10 years of classroom experience in Montessori early childhood settings. I am passionate about helping children of all ages reach their full potential as they grow in body, mind, and heart. I am a nurturing, attentive, and patient caregiver as I support the holistic development of each child. I especially enjoy helping children connect with nature through outdoor activities and exploration. I am also passionate about senior care. I provided full-time care for my mother (who has Alzheimer's disease) for 1.5 years until she moved into memory care facility. It brought me great joy to help her connect to family and friends and stay engaged in hobbies of interest Read more each day. I also felt honored to be able to support her dignity and independence in her activities of daily living. I hold a B.A. in environmental studies, and a Montessori Early Childhood teaching credential. I am first aid and CPR certified. I also have intermediate Spanish language skills.
