My entire life I have been passionate about the treatment and well-being of children. Starting from the age of 18, I have worked with children in job settings; from daycares and schools, to nannying and babysitting. Looking back on the past 20 years of my time working with kids of various ages, I can honestly say I have nothing but wonderful memories of all the children I worked with and who likewise impacted my life. The Montessori philosophy influences much of how I engage and interact with children. Characteristics such as independence, respect for the child, methodological skills, patience, observation, order and organization often frame how I guide children in whatever it is I am assisting them with. I have my BA in psychology and my MA in neuropsychology and graduated during the COVID-19 lockdown. Additionally during the pandemic, I had twins! Over this past year, I cared for a Read more 4-month-old in my home one day a week. If you think we may be a good fit for each other and would like to talk more about your needs, please feel free to reach out to me!

We've been so lucky to have Sanni helping our family. Sanni has helped by driving my son multiple times a week for the past year. She is incredibly reliable - she has always been early to every instance and never missed a session. She is an excellent & proactive communicator on all topics. Most importantly, she is a trustworthy & genuinely caring adult. My son enjoys being with her and I am so grateful to have her consistent, reliable and high quality support. We fully recommend her!
