I am an energetic and patient college graduate with over 10 years of experience in child care. In college, I studied nutrition and child development and I have worked with a wide range of children with different kinds of emotional and developmental needs. I worked as an assistant teacher in an infant/toddler classroom for four years following the Reggio-Emeilia approach, and for the last five years I have been working as a full-time nanny. With kids, I love going on outdoor adventures, making costumes, cooking, reading, writing stories, and encouraging physical activity. I am infant CPR and TrustLine certified, up-to-date on all immunizations, and an experienced driver with a clean driving record. In my spare time, I am an amateur seamstress, cook, and backpacker. If you have any questions, or if I sound like someone you would like to work with, please reach out!
