I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow girl who adores children, yet can be firm at times if required. I have 8 years of experience and seem to attract the angel eyes of little kids. I enjoy bringing my love of art, dance, outdoors, healthy foods, Steiner style learning and exploration to children. I empower the children to be confident in their own freewill while still encouraging them to be being respectful and honoring of those around them. I love any opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children… and we clean up afterward, knowing that we had a good, full day.
