With years of caregiving as a school-based marriage & family therapist and parent educator, I am redirecting my career to work as a nanny and personal assistant. Married 35 years with our home in Redondo Beach, our daughter just completed her first year as a high school health science teacher. My gift is cultivating and facilitating relational connection. My strengths are being present in a mindful, responsible, attentive to detail, creative, organized, fun and loyal manner. I am grateful to be alive and enjoy human beings of all ages. A special longing is to care for an infant and see the world through younger human beings. I am also interested in inter-generational engagement. My First Aid and CPR Training are current. As a school-based therapist, I expanded by training by studying parenting with nonviolence, and became certified to teach a 10-week curriculum which strengthens one's capacity for a deep connection Read more with self and others. Violence is understood to be anything that harms the heart, mind, body, or spirit of a living being. A new language of connection is introduced and practiced. We revisit our own childhoods in order to discover what we don't wish to repeat, and resource ourselves to support living our vision as the caregivers we long to be. Younger human beings are are born whole, curious, trusting and deserve to be raised with unconditional love. These principles are the foundation of my practice path in life.
