I’m a 26 year old mother of a 3 year old. I’m devoted and passionate about healthy and intentional parenting, always educating myself on becoming the most present, respectful, and growth inducing role model and childcare provider I can be. With inclinations toward the R.I.E. approach, I designate safe ‘yes’ spaces for children to learn play and grow at those own pace and speed and spend lots and lots of time outside. I find it important to ground myself and be a calm presence understanding children’s difficult behaviors are often healthy and normal responses to this confusing and sometimes crazy world. Community and mother focused, I’m open to being part of a nanny share and watching multiple children at once. My price is negotiable and my hours are flexible. It’s just important to me to find a family (or multiple!) that I can fit in with perfectly. Let me know Read more your needs and we can see what works best :)
