I have 10 years of experience working with children, most of which has been with infants and young toddlers. My style of nannying is affectionate and respectful. I believe that one of the most vital things to a child's development is a close bond with their caregiver. I strive to respect the autonomy of each child I care for, while also providing a warm presence. Encouraging outdoor free-play is a big part of my approach, as well as library and park outings. I am CPR/First-Aid/BBP certified and have completed coursework in early childhood development as part of my BA in psychology. I am a lifelong learner and regularly read books and listen to podcasts about parenting. I am hardworking and reliable. I am glad to assist in chores and errands as needed.
