Hi there! For the past 10 years I have been working with children in various capacities from a live-in nanny, to mother's helper to afterschool program teaching. I love working with children and helping them learn and grow through play, the arts, and the great outdoors! I bring my background in psychology from my studies at Brown University, gives me a unique insight into behavior and communication, which are key to a a positive childcare experience. Having worked as a pastry and catering chef in the past, I enjoy sharing my passion for cooking with the families I care for. I am currently looking for part time work as I pursue my entrepreneurial ventures in health and nutrition. I have developed close relationships with all of the families I have worked for and look forward to getting to know you and your family!
