Hi! I've been a trusted & valued nanny/babysitter for over two decades. I grew up dancing & singing in the PNW, earned a masters degree from NYU & worked in film & tv for 10 years but just moved back to the PNW! My goal is to raise self-sufficient humans who care about the people and places around them & to help kids find joy in life. I encourage kids to advocate for themselves, take their feelings & thoughts seriously & also understand kids aren't capable of fully caring for themselves yet. Every child deserves a safe space that serve their unique needs as they develop. I curate my child-education content to include intersectional, trauma informed approaches & find purpose in educating myself & challenging my biases & privilege to best approach what a kid needs. I have a full resume with references I can share by email and I’m Read more available to start as soon as care is needed!
