I’m a childcare professional with 5+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15. I hold a BS in Psychology with a concentration in Painting and have worked as a curriculum specialist, creating engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences. I am BCAT-certified and have hands-on experience supporting infants and children with disabilities, using patient, individualized, and strengths-based approaches. I’m deeply passionate about social-emotional development, creativity, and maintaining open, supportive communication with parents. As a certified postpartum doula, I also provide compassionate emotional support to families during the early postpartum period. I take a calm, nurturing, and holistic approach to care and would love to connect to see how I can support your family’s needs.

Kana was on time, polite and friendly, and took good care of my little one while she was here. It was really nice of her to come up with some creative activities and to tidy up before she left. My baby was comfortable and content with her, and we’d love to have her back in the future.
