Years of experience as a nanny shapes the quality of care I will bring to your kids and family. My work is a creative balance between care of your child and doing tasks/errands that contribute toward improving your overall quality of time at home. I adore working with children and have the most experience with newborns to 5 year-olds. Outtings include walks, trips to the playground and museum visits, or maybe we'll hang around the house and have story time, do art projects, make birthday cards for family members, and listen to music with a side kick of dancing! I'm accustomed to supporting families who have structured, unstructured, and moderately structured schedules. No matter your child's age, my caretaking spirit is to have fun, be a "behavior leader" and mirror emotions. When your child has difficulty expressing their needs or working though thoughts and emotions, I remedy with patience, listening Read more and knowing when to give space. Offering gentle reframing when needed has been a successful tool during times like this. Experience with immediate postpartum families contributes to a collection of ways I soothe, nap, engage and feed your newborn. A little bit about me. I'm a college educated, avid nature lover in my 40s who cannot fit enough time into my schedule for hiking and backpacking. I love music, running, and making delectable meals--bonus, I'm getting more comfortable with making desserts. Maybe you would like to walk through the door at the end of a long week to the smell of freshly made pecan pie delighting your senses?! My babysitting experience goes back to the late 90s, professional nanny since 2013. My work as family assistant, birth doula and elder caretaker have many intersections which equate to improving my overall quality of care. Assisting you harvest extra time into your schedule is my goal as a dynamic family resource. I'd love to meet you and find out if we are a good fit.
