Experienced Nanny & Early Childhood Educator | South Lake Tahoe Hello! I’m a highly experienced nanny and early childhood educator with over 30 years of hands-on experience working with children from infancy through elementary school age. We are relocating to the South Lake Tahoe area in June and I am seeking a full-time, live-out nanny position with a family who values warmth, structure, creativity, and dependable care. 🌿 About My Experience My background spans both private in-home childcare and early childhood education settings, as well as teaching in a creative arts elementary school. I have supported families long-term in nurturing their children’s development emotionally, socially, and cognitively through age-appropriate play, consistency, and strong communication. In addition to my nanny experience, I am the founder of my own creative children’s program, Wee Little Arts, which I have built, operated and franchised for many years. Through this program, I designed and led Read more art-based learning experiences for young children, focusing on creativity, sensory exploration, fine motor development, and confidence-building through self-expression. 🎨 Wee Little Arts Program As the creator of Wee Little Arts, I developed a hands-on, process oriented curriculum that introduced children to artistic exploration in a safe, engaging, and joyful environment. I worked with groups and individual children to encourage imagination while supporting developmental milestones through art, movement, and sensory activities. This experience strengthened my ability to design structured yet flexible learning environments tailored to each child’s needs. 💛 My Approach I believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, seen, and encouraged. My caregiving style is calm, nurturing, and highly attentive. I balance structure with creativity, helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. I am also comfortable supporting daily routines such as meal prep, transportation to activities, and light housekeeping related to the children. 🌟 What I Offer 30+ years of professional childcare experience Infant, toddler, and school-age expertise Founder of Wee Little Arts Strong background in early childhood development and art-based learning Reliable, warm, and highly adaptable care I am excited to connect with a family in the South Lake Tahoe area and bring my experience, creativity, and dedication to a long-term nanny role starting this summer.
