For over 30 years I have experience and a gift for caring for babies and children of all ages, newborn to teen, including twins and physically or emotionally challenged. To me it's not a job, it's a privilege. I had my first job as a nanny when I was 16 caring for two children from birth for several years. You could say I'm a natural born, my training has come from years of experience, and children have always been drawn to me and feel safe with me. I see children as gentle reminders that we are all special beings with unique gifts, each worthy of being seen, heard, loved, and respected with patience, kindness and consistency. That is what I teach children daily, in a safe and structured , yet playful environment that encourages individuality, respect for others, and healthy communication. I see everyday life activities as opportunities to grow, Read more play, laugh and learn together.
