A little bit about me… Hello, My name is Cherokee. I am a nanny and private childcare consultant for babies and early childhood development. Love and support are the two greatest gifts you can give to your child. My passion is to support the family unit as an extension of the family. I believe in the old adage ‘It takes a village to raise a child’. Therefore, I perform many tasks related to child-rearing including laundry, meals, and education. I work using a schedule. Its important that children have a routine to follow, as they navigate their day. I also incorporate many opportunities to practice autonomy which is critical for children to feel heard and respected. Ages 0 through 8 are the primary years of development best capitalized on through engagement, creativity, encouragement, nurturing, Consistency and fun! With the right perspective, parenting is a fun and enjoyable experience. Allow me Read more to work with your family in a safe, loving and nurturing manner.
