I have been a caretaker for children for the past 20 years. My 'specialty' is with newborns, infants and toddlers, but I have worked with children of all ages through high school. My background is in holistic nutrition and I am currently studying to become a Certified Postpartum Doula. I believe in Montessori/Waldorf style learning and encourage independence and positive reinforcement. I stimulate children through music, nature, play, social interaction, exercise, educational activities, imagination, books and arts and crafts. I currently have a full time position as a nanny, but am looking for part-time weekend jobs. I would love to set up a time to meet with you and your family in person.
