With over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a warm, organized, and creative approach to childcare, rooted in nature-based play, a love for storytelling and children’s literature, and a deep belief in each child’s unique abilities and passions. As a former nature-based preschool teacher, I focus on nurturing the “whole child”—social, emotional, and cognitive development—through outdoor exploration, reading together, and hands-on activities that foster independence, confidence, and curiosity. I also have one year of teaching experience in a Montessori classroom with children ages 2–6 and am currently continuing my work in the Montessori environment. This experience has strengthened my ability to support child-led learning, encourage independence, and design engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am dedicated to building positive connections with both children and families, supporting each family’s unique values and needs. Whether establishing smooth routines, organizing enriching activities, or creating a safe, joyful environment, Read more I’m here to help your child thrive in a way that honors their individuality.
