Hello! I am returning to KC after working in Alaska and the San Juan Islands as a Chef. I am looking to find a steady part-time nanny/sitting job while I currently working on my own venture. I have over 21 years of experience as a mother of now, two adult children. I’m interested in offering care for yours as I truly enjoy working with kids. I’m a graduate of the School of the Art Institute so my creative approach is integrated into everything I do. My demeanor is calm and logical. Mindfulness is a big part of my everyday being. What you can expect from my style of care is detailed observation. For children experiencing frustration, I use redirection to avoid conflicts and I believe in rewarding good behavior. I allow space for all feelings and welcome them all as valid. I will always give your child an opportunity to Read more discuss those feelings too if they so wish. I’m happy to keep a log and send pictures while you are away so you’re in the loop of all of our activities. I enjoy animals, nature, art and music so any activity including those above will be prioritized over screen time. Also, being a professional chef, you can rest assured your child will be well fed with nutritional needs in mind. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have but truly look forward to meeting you!
