Hello to you and your family! I am a creative, enthusiastic, mindful, and well-organized Nanny and CAPPA-trained postpartum doula, with over 7 years experience working with children ages 0-10. I serve families in Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, Richmond, San Francisco, and the North Bay. Graduated in 2010 with a Bachelors in K-12 Art Education, I have since served as an early childhood educator in Reggio Emilia inspired classrooms and therapeutic settings, as an art educator, and as a postpartum doula. As a nanny, I find the most joy in planning outings in nature and community, leading creative and academic projects, and facilitating wondrous play with infants, toddlers, and young children! If you are welcoming a new little one to your family, I provide gentle support and education around infant feeding, care, and soothing, and can be available for some late-evening hours for infant care and parenting support. Highly organized and detail-oriented, Read more I enjoy maintaining the beauty of home environments for families, planning and preparing meals, and taking on various other family tasks- so the time you share with your family can be well-spent, together. As an advocate for diversity, social justice, and the environment, I love sharing these values with young children in fun, age appropriate ways through dialogue, activities, and rich experiences. I would be thrilled to hear from you about joining your family as your nanny! Please contact me for professional references.
