• Comfortable with pets
• Has a car

Using nature, music and art, I have spent my last twenty years caring for the wonder and hopes of children. I have solid experience with children of all ages and enjoy the dynamics of care. With a lifetime mission of providing my loyalty and creative energy to families, I am bringing skills that come with passion for the child's gifts as well as a calm yet fierce sense of priority in favor of the child's well being. I am a joyful nanny with peculiar talents- I can play selections from a Vivaldi Piccolo Concerto on the turkey baster while helping with homework and preparing dinner. I have learned to find the secret to smooth transitions with 8 years experience working with children of trauma. I have special tricks to help with spectrum children as well as tourettes and OCD and I am able to find the gift hiding in the Read more behavior- sometimes a difficult behavior is a clue to a talent or an open door to a new skill building hobby. I am currently caring for a family I have been with for three years. I am with them now one day a weekend to help smooth their transition with their new nanny. I also work as a science illustrator and have enjoyed including children of my care in the process of exploring nature for the purpose of education. I am a conservatory trained musician and enjoy bringing music education in to the home as the interest arises. But I am also happy to take out the recycling and tend to the changing of the childrens' sheets once a week because I know how it's the little things that really make the difference. I believe I would be a good match for a busy family in need of a sense of domestic calm as well as a healthy delicious dinner on the table, lunches ready for the next day and the good feeling of children engaged in the process of falling in love with participating in the fine art of living.
