Your children are precious and you want to know they're in good hands, I get it!

Here's a bit more about me:

Who am I?

 

I am an active, joyful, and nurturing nanny who values the simple things in life. With over five years of professional and full-time nannying experience, and over a decade in childcare at large, I have an extensive background specializing in the early years; from infants (including newborns and multiples) to early school age. Further areas of interest and study including car seat safety, postpartum care, respectful parenting, RIE, nature immersion, and newborn care have all helped equip me to be the best caregiver I can be. I practice a blend of respectful, gentle, and child-led philosophies which has allowed me to foster wonderful relationships with all of the children I have had the honor of caring for.

 

I enjoy the simple things in life and work to share those values with children, cultivating peaceful and warm environments and creating magical childhood experiences for them to enjoy. Our connection and the fun we have together is rooted in creativity, nature, music, and laughter with endless opportunities for play-based learning and growth. You might find us exploring the coastline or trails, or snuggled up reading together indoors. My days are always guided by the children’s needs and I aim to work with them respectfully while honoring and encouraging their autonomy.

 

As a nanny, I strive to support parents as well as children, ensuring I work in partnership with them to provide the help they need. While I am child-focused in my caregiving, I work to anticipate the needs of the entire household, solve problems before they cause trouble, and find little ways to add more peace and joy into my employers’ home and lives. It is a privilege and a joy to build a relationship with the entire family based on open communication, shared values, trust, and mutual respect.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!

 

Kind regards,
