Hello! I am a former teacher and seasoned nanny. I have 5 years of experience teaching public school, including both special and general education and all grade levels k - 6. I have a specialized skill set you won't find elsewhere, utilizing both my education and childcare backgrounds. I hold a bachelor of arts in special education, including elementary and special education endorsements. I ultimately found that teaching wasn't as rewarding for me as working in homes as an early childcare provider. I absolutely love nannying. I have been nannying for over 15 years for families of all kinds (including summers when I was a teacher.) I love being on a little one's level and seeing things from their point of view. I am a big developmental psych nerd, applying best practices with regard to attachment and nervous system organization. I run the day in a highly structured way, focusing Read more on maintaining a serene, playful, safe and organized tone, picking battles carefully and providing activities that will meet the needs of kiddos as needed depending on where they are each day. I am very hands on and love to play, sing, dance, snuggle, read books, work on art and explore outside. I am flexible and highly communicative. I like to record in depth notes on our day, send pictures and videos and touch base with parents as much as needed. I look forward to hearing from you!
