I have a Master's in Education and have studied human development for over 20 years. My philosophy is child-directed, following and encouraging their interests as they naturally emerge. I like to support families to thrive. I love playing outdoors, reading, cooking/baking, building things, making music, singing, dancing, and arts and crafts. As an educator, I love to support learning and development through play and all interactions. I can also help with homework. I have previously been a lead teacher in a Head Start preschool program. I am trained as a secondary ed teacher and have worked as a teacher and tutor with youth from elementary through high school. I taught an educational yoga curriculum in private elementary schools throughout Los Angeles. I am also a birth doula and have worked extensively with postpartum women. I have been caring for infants and children since I was 12 years old including my Read more siblings that are 12 and 14 years younger than me. I lived with and cared for my niece and nephew for two years when they were babies and toddlers. I have also been a live-in nanny for a two-year-old and an eight-month-old. I am currently back in school pursuing a career as a Nurse Practitioner.
