With over 10 years of experience working with kids of all ages, I’ve learned that patience, creativity, and a big dose of enthusiasm are key to making each day special. I spent time as a preschool teacher, where I really dug into early childhood education and discovered how important it is to create a fun, supportive, and nurturing environment. But honestly, I learned the most from nannying two amazing kiddos, ages 2 and 4, for a couple of years—those little ones taught me so much. I’m a free-spirited soul who loves to find new ways to keep things playful and exciting. Nature is my happy place, and I truly believe it plays a huge role in a child’s growth. Whether we’re crafting, reading (I’m a huge book lover!), going on outdoor adventures, or making up games on the spot, I’m all about turning every moment into a fun learning opportunity. Read more My approach is rooted in love, patience, and making sure kids always feel safe and supported. I thrive in an environment where communication is open, and I can manage multiple tasks while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Building strong, trusting relationships is so important to me, and I believe clear communication is key to making sure everyone’s on the same page. During the warmer months, I’m the head gardener for a beautiful private estate in Yarmouth, which gives me a chance to dig into my love for nature and creativity. I’m excited about the possibility of bringing my positive energy, creativity, and experience to your family!
